Return to Las Cruces

Didn't plan it this way but I'm back in Las Cruces, NM exactly 1 year since I passed through at the start of my journey. The 4 hour drive via I-10 from Benson, AZ to Las Cruces was uneventful; strong winds were forecasted but didn't appear during my morning drive. This stretch of I-10 has more gusty winds and dust storms possible signs than any stretch of Interstate I've seen.

Staying at Sunny Acres in Las Cruces for 2 nights to rest up before heading to Albuquerque. Swam today at the local indoor public pool (Frenger Pool); a 25m pool with 6 lanes. I swam around 10am; not very crowded so had my own lane the entire time. Swam 16x50s (800m) in 2 minute intervals.

My lower back was a bit achy last night and worse this morning. Was ok to swim but affected my stroke, especially transitioning to the first stroke after push off. No better after swimming. Think it might be due to yesterday's 4 hour drive. Will take it easy today and head out tomorrow morning for Albuquerque.
