Thursday Night Swimming

I really wanted to go running tonight.  I got my stuff together and was walking out the door and decided that running was not a good idea.  It was 100 degrees here in Los Angeles and the run club starts at 6:30 and it was still scorching hot at 6pm so I said fuck that.  So instead I went swimming.  I knew that it was going to be a tough workout but oy vey!

Warmed up about a 500 between goofing off and chit chatting. 

Then we had a warm up set.  I so can't remember what it was I'm so tired from tonights workout.  I remember doing at least 8x50's IM order odds were drill / evens were stroke (400).  And I know we did two rounds of kicking 100/2x50's and 4x25's.  May have done something else.  (600)

So let's say warm up was a totoal of 1400.  i know we didn't start the main set to about 7:40-ish.

Main Set:

100 IM on 1:30

4x50's Stroke on 50 descend

100 IM on 1:30

2x100's stroke on 1:40 descend

100 IM on 1:30

200 stroke.  All the stroke in this round had to be the same stroke.  After this 200 we regrouped as we then were allowed to switch stroke choice.  I did both rounds backstroke.

100 IM on 1:30

4x50's Stroke on 50 descend

100 IM on 1:30

2x100's stroke on 1:40 descend

100 IM on 1:30

200 stroke

1800 Yards of stroke.  OY!  3200 yards so far.  Hmm...seems a bit low.  Oh well.

Then we finished up with a pulling set.

3x200's Pulling breating by 50 3/4/7/9 WTF 9?  damn!  on 2:45 (600)

3x100's Pulling on 1:20 (300)

4100 Yard Workout.  I left that pool a broken man.  Sore and tired.  That's two swim workouts and a trip to the gym.  Oy!  I will sleep in tomorrow and swim the 60 minute sprint workout.  Mainly because we have a dinner social at a BBQ place I've been wanting to try.  I haven't been to a dinner social in a while either.  Figured I'm over due!
