Swimming? Remember that thing I use to do four times a week? Yeah, me neither. But I remember a pool being around here somewhere so I headed over to it this afternoon after napping and lunch. Before heading over I printed up an old workout from WH20's Friday night 60 minute workout from 2007/8ish. Once at the pool I found it empty which it stayed the whole time!
I skipped the deep end kicking since the pool isn't deep enough for deep end kicking. Here is the main set:
Main Set takes about 30 minutes
150 2x75 - 50 free/25 fly 110/115/120
100 2x50 - 25 back/25 free 45/50/55
100 4x25 breast 30/35/40
100 100 IM 130/145/200
100 100 free 130/140/200

So I sorta did the medium lane intervals with a few of the slow lane intervals. In fect I think I fucked up the intervals more then once and even went slower then the slow lane intervals. Oh well! I was alone with the Garmin Swim Watch which is pretty damn pointless!
I warmed up a 200 pull w/o paddles then a 200 pull w/paddles. Both using the d-band pulling band which I still think is the best invention since slice bread!
Then I did the set above. I used the Garmin Swim but what it recorded is all fucked up! Damn that thing! Unless you are swimming freestyle and never stopping the thing works. If you stop a lot for intervals and do different strokes then it is pointless. Piece of shit! I still recomend it for lap swimmers but other then that I wouldn't bother.
I did all my 75's on 1:15. I messed up the first round and went from 50's to 100 IM then realized I skipped the 25's I did them before the 100 free. The 100 free intervals sorta were me just rounding the clock to the top so one was 1:40 and one at 1:50. The breast/free 50's I just couldn't remember when I left so I think I did two of them on 1:05. The last set the first 50 I did back/free instead of fly/free. My mind was elsewhere. I kept thinking to myself how bad it was that I was swimming and struggling on medium lane times! OY!
