Thursday Night Swim SCY
Michael Phelps & Subway PR Footage

Friday Morning

Another day and another swim.  This mornings swim felt better than last night but the body felt a bit fatigued.  At least a good nights sleep pushed the blah feelings away.  Today being Friday only means that I have some time off to let the body recover.  I'll hit the gym and then swim on Sunday.  So at least I have about 36 hours to let my muscles and body recover.

This morning I warmed up about a 300.  I wasn't really counting but I'm think it was a 300. 

Then we did a warm up set:
2x
200 Kick on 2:50 (well that was the assigned time I did it on 3 mins)
100 Drill (I think, some sort of drill thing.  I'm guessing a 100 as the coach gave us 4 drills to do if we did freestyle)
2x100's Free on 1:25 (okay the assigned time was 1:20 but this is warmup)
I think that was it.  Might have missed something.  After 7 swims in 6 days the workouts are blurring together. 

Main set:
200 Swim Freestyle on 2:40 (once again I stretched the assigned interval with was 2:30)
6x100's Swim as follows (100 free on 1:20, 50 free / 50 stroke on 1:25 and 100 stroke on 1:30.  1-3 my stroke was back and 4-6 my stroke was fly)  I kept to the assigned intervlas for these
200's Swim freestyle on 2:40
6x75's Swim IM on 1:15, I think. (i did the 1 & 2 all back then for the rest alternated strokes minus breast.  they assigned rotation was fly/back/breast, back/breast/free, breast/free/fly repeat.  I did more of a fly/back/free, back/fly/free, free/fly/back and i think back/fly/free.  Hey, I had my own lane.
200 swim freestyle on 2:40
6x50's on 55 descend 1-3 & 4-6.  I did 1-3 back and 4-6 fly.

Then I did a pull set which I messed up so here is what I did as I still don't recall what was the assigned set.
100 Pull breathing 3/5/any/7
4x50's Pull breathing 3 down / 2 back.

Warmed down a 200.

Overall it wasn't my best swim workout but I stuck it out and finished it.  My last 50 fly I tried to go fast but was only able to must a time of 32 seconds scy.  I took my time at the turn and did a very shallow push off which was basically me never really streamlining.  Hey, I was tired. 

I did use my new goggles.  I still have two pairs of swedes but also another new pair that I'll be talking up soon.  Another post for another time.  Just a little hint in the picture above.
