Taper Workout Wednesday

This mornings taper workout was a bit too for my taste.  Started off with a very slow 200 which was a 50 chat a bit then another 50 and chat some more.  After we did a series of 100's.  I think we did 4 which were 50 drill / 50 swim.  I did them free, back, back, fly. 

100 Distance per stroke.  Count your strokes for lap one then try to do 2 less for the remaining laps.  I was all over the place with 19/15/17/16.

12x50's.  Odds freestyle / Evens stroke on 60.  Each was build.  I alternated my stroke between fly and back.  For the fly ones we were allowed to do 25 free/25 fly.

50 Distance per stroke.

12x25's on 35.  1st four the 1st 1/2 fast.  2nd four the 2nd 1/2 fast.  3rd four we started in the middle and our turns and push offs were to be fast.

Then we did a series of relay starts.  Yup, we got to get out of the pool in stand on deck outside in the chilly morning.  YAHOO! 

I was shivering while standing on deck.  It was too cold.  I have posted about this so many times I'm sick of talking about it but we should be doing starts all year long.  More so in the warmer months.  But nope we always wait to the first week of December to get out on deck and do starts.  Oy! 

As for the workout that really was it.  Lot's of standing around waiting in the water.  The coach divided the lanes between those going to regionals and those who aren't.  Which made it hard for her to be watching everyone so we had a lot of waiting time.
