The last day of another month is here. I just can't believe that tomorrow will be December 1st! It feels like just yesterday I was baking my Gingerbread Swimmer Cookies but that was almost one full year ago. This year I'm going to try and make a Gingerbread Swim Pool! Stay tuned for that.
This morning I woke up before the alarm did which is a shocker. I use to wake up every morning before the alarm but that hasn't happened in months. I guess my body is getting use to my morning swimming and running again. My plan for today was to do an early morning run but yesterday my plans for today changed so I decided to get in one last swim for November. I figure I can squeeze in a run later today. So I got up and met the gang for a quick swim. Since everyone else is training or tapering for a meet the workout was quick and easy.
Warmed Up
200 Swim
300 Pull
3x100's Kick (800)
Then we did 4x50's. First two were 25 kick / 25 swim. Second two were swim but pace. I did these backtroke. In fact I did the workout mostly backstroke. (200/1000)
3x100's Pace / Descend. The point was to figure out how you wanted to swim your last 100 and the pace then add 10 seconds for the first one with the second one 5 seconds in between. I failed at that. I was like two 17's then a 14 or something like that. A descend but not the way it was to be swum. (400/1400)
50 easy (50/1450)
2x50's. First one getting some speed. Second one fast (100/1550)
Then we did 3x25's pull / kick /swim for 3 rounds. I did them fly/back/free then a 25 easy (250/1700)
1700 yards for today. Not too bad for a quick unplanned workout.
