Another Good Friday Swim
Friday, April 17, 2009
On Thursday I pretty much skipped swimming and my weight training but did get in a spin class. I just wasn't feeling it but I did have a yummy pastrami sandwich for lunch. But this morning I got up and hit the 6am swim practice. I'm glad I did as I'm feeling much better after the workout. I am going to make up my missed weight training by going to the gym later today.
Warmed Up a 250 before we started our warm up set.
8x75's
1 - 75 Drill on 1:25
2 - 50 Drill / 25 Swim on 1:20
3 - 25 Drill / 50 Swim on 1:15
4 Swim on 1:10
I mixed it up with some stroke work. I even did a very brief bit of breaststroke. (600/850)
This is were we did some 50's kick and some 50's swim. Umm...hmmm. I know I took one 50 off for a pee break. Damn. I think it was at least 8x50's kick. 1 and 5 had to be butterfly on back. Then we did some light sprint work to get the heart rate up. (350/1200 i'm low balling the yardage since I can't remember it)
Main Set:
1x100 Free on 1:10
4x100's Free on 1:20 the 4th one is fast
1x100 Free on 1:10

1x100 Free on 1:10
4x25's all fast on 30 (i did these freestyle) (1400/2600)
Pulling
2x
150 on 2 mins breathing 3/5/7 by 50'
3x50's on 50 breathing 1 down / 3 back, 1 down / 2 back and 1 / 1 I did as best as I could with a few extra breathing from time to time.
Warm Down a 200 25 drill / 25 swim (600/3200)
That yardage doesn't seem right but alas it is close enough. I'm so glad I went swimming this morning. The last few workouts I haven't been alone in the fast lanes which is good as I need to be pushed. I was seriously considering starting to hit the 7:15 workout for a challenge.
