This morning we swam down in Leesburg at 5:30 so I had to up at an unholy time of 4:15. I gotta admit that 4:15 is way too early to be up for anything. Mind you I don't hafta leave to about 5:00 but it takes me a bit to get my act together and get going. I need at least 30 minutes to wake up and out the door.
Once at Leesburg it was nice to be on deck with the construction now done. No more dodging large pieces of concrete piled all over. Once in the pool it was time to swim with the bugz. Being so close to the lake I guess attracts bugz. Yuck!
Warm Up - 1x500 loosen / 3x100 kick with fins on 2:00 (800)
Then we continue on with - 6x50 on 1:00 drill/swim (300/1100)
Main Set -
1x350 on 5:00
4x75 on 1:15
1x200 on 3:20
4x50 on :50
4x100 on 1:40
I did a 350 while everyone else did either a 250 or 300. The 4x75's I did freestyle as well. Then the 200 I did IM. The 50's I went back to freestyle. Then the 100's I did them back, fly, back and fly again. My fly was okay. The second 100 of fly I was a bit tired. Mostly overheated since the pool was sorta warm. (1450/2450)
Mixed easy 50 then took a quick pee break. (50/2500)
4x50's The first three I did 25 fly / 25 free building the fly then did the last 50 all fly fast on 1:15 (200/2700)
A decent workout. We do get to swim a bit more at Leesburg so that is a good thing. The cool new thing about the pool is the "poor mans pool chiller" system they hooked up while under construction. Don't know the specifics but basically they've hooked up the water to be like a sprinker right into the backstroke flag poles. They've yet to set a timer on it so we didn't get to the cooling action to the end of our swim. I thought it was a pretty cook hookup.
Now with a swim meet just around the corner I'm looking at swim suits. I don't think I want to spend or can afford to spend money for a new tech suit. But was thinking of buying a regular speedo sytle suit for the meet. Now I wear Splish suits to workout but they are a bit heavy to wear at a swim meet. So I gotta start looking at suits. Any suggestions for an inexpensive approved swim suit?
