Finally back to swimming. Haven't been in the pool since Saturday.
Warm Up
Mixed 550
4x100's Kick.
Using my new Garmin Swim it only registered a total of 575 yards. Mostly my fault. Gotta remember to enter kick in the drill mode. Which I figured out how to use later in the workout. (950)
Main Set: 2,000 Yards
400 on 6 minutes
4x100's on 1:40 descend
300 on 4:30
4x75's on 1:15 descend. Messed up on the last one and went on the 1:20 for number 3 into 4.
Rested too long…
200 on something
4x50's on 45 Descend
100 on something
2x50's descend on something.
Let's see what the watch registered… (2000/2950) So I did descend. Mind you the times aren't real times they are by the press of the button by my finger times. The times really suck but alas that is my new reality. Gotta admit I'm frustrated. I didn't want to swim today.
4x75's Distance Per Stroke / Kick / CatchUp by 25 on 2 minutes (300 / 3250)
4x50's CatchUp/Sprint on something (200/3450)
8x25's some drill stuff. Oh stroke. 25 Drill / 25 Sprint (200/3650)
6x25's Drill breathing every 4 (150/3800)
3,800 yard swim in 90 minutes or so. Now I haven't been swimming so it was a bit tough going today. Mind you I do workout almost every day. Group Ride (spinning) and/or Group Power (weight lifting) so I'm not being lazy. But getting swimming in has been tough. We'll see if I continue to teach Power as I'm getting frustrated learning it / teaching it. Swimming is falling victim to work and my Go The Distance is falling behind... I gotta force myself to swim before work on Saturday and Sunday. I figure with Tuesday I got 3 chances to swim to close up the month. Right now I'm at 27,775 yards for the month. Not bad but I'd like to be close to 35K. That might not happen but at least above 30K would be nice.
