"Not Much Of A Swimmer, Are You?"

"Not Much Of A Swimmer, Are You?"  That is the question that floats in my head these days.  It's April 22nd and I've only swam 8 times this month.  I only swam once last week!  Yeah, I'm spinning and lifting and all that but really what happened to my swimming?

Well with that in mind I decided I had to swim this morning.  I went to bed sorta early for me but ended up tossing and turning.  This morning I hit the snooze button for 45 minutes before getting up.  I went on my computer and pulled a workout from April 16th, 2010.  I modified it a bit and yet I still failed in doing it.

Warm Up
200 Swim
200 Pull
200 Kick IM (600)

Main Set:
200 IM on 3
50 easy on 60
4x25's fly on 30
50 easy on 60
2x100's back on 1:40
50 easy on 60
4x25's fly on 30
50 easy on 60
4x50's back on 60
50 easy on 60
4x50's fky on 1:10
50 easy on 60
8x25's back on 30
50 easy on 60
and then the big FAIL!
I had 8x25's fly planned but on the first one I felt some fatigue/pain so I stopped about 10 meters of the first 25.  Got out and took a pee break.  Tried it again after some rest and got to about 20 meters.  I just gave up and switched to free to make it a 100 warm down.  So this set which was to be 1,800 yards was only 1,650 yards.

1,650+600=2,250 yard swim.  Jeezz, I'm out of swim shape. My goal this week is to swim at least 10,000 yards!  I need to get back in the GTD Game... Well now it's time to eat, rest and hit the gym!
