Swimming In The Smoke
Sunday, November 16, 2008
I ended up swimming at the outdoor pool even with the air quality warnings although I didn't last for the whole workout. I didn't even finish the main set.
Warmed Up a 250
Warm Up Set:
something here...umm...100's maybe.
6x50's Drill on 55
4x100's Swim on 1:20
6x50's Kick on 55
2x100's Swim on 1:20
Then we did a stroke warm up. I think we did it twice with a 75 IM on an easy interval then a 50 free fast on 35 then something then another 50 fast on 35. I so don't remember this workout.
Then the main set in which started off badly for me and went downhill. By the first round of the set about 1/2 of the swimmers got out. Already a low turn out turned into one lane per swimmer.
I did a 100 back but it was to be a 250.
4x50's IM order on 55
100 IM on 1:20. that didn't happen.
50 easy.
regrouped. well i was on my own while the two fastties continued the set correctly.
250 back.
4x50's IM order on 55
100 IM on 1:20. I actually did the interval
50 easy
Okay this set was to be 4x but it ended up only being 2x. I got out but a small group of folks stayed in and had a mini-swim clinic with the coach. I would have stayed but I felt like crap. I wanted just to get out of the water and home. I'll swim in the morning when hopefully the air will clear up a bit. I figured at the very least I got into the water and did something as opposed to sitting on the couch eating chips.
