A Water Temp I Can Swim In.
Friday, October 14, 2011
That hurt a bit too much. Rut oh! I woke up a bit on the late side but headed out to go swimming just the same. Luckily I got to the pool just in time to be let in and swim. I was sore and stiff before getting in the water and was hoping that a stretched out Friday swim would work the kinks out.
The water temp was a nice 81F which I know won't last. The heaters will be kicking in soon enough and the temps will be back into the mid-80's. Grrr...gotta enjoy the water while the good temps are here.
Warm Up
450 Mixed / 200 Kick (650)
Main Set:
400 Free. Negative Split.
4x100's Free on 1:45 Descend.
For my 400 I was a bit sluggish starting out and ended up swimming it in 5:10ish. I don't remember my splits but I remember looking at the black hand and not the red hand at my 200. Grrr....Then on the 6 minute mark went into my 100's. I did a 1:14, 1:12, 1:09 and a 1:05. I felt a bit better then the other day. With that said my right shoulder and arm are just not feeling right. Sore and stiff. (800/1450)
Did 2x50's easy free then 4x50's kick/swim and did them backstroke. (300/1750)
Since my last swim I've been to the gym. On Wednesday I did chest and arms. Pretty much stuck to my regular circuit routine. Started with 10 minutes of Group Kick. I got out of the class since it was packed and I didn't like were I was in the room. Since the class is new at the gym the classes are full but people will drop out in a few weeks. Then I'll pick up Group Kick again. Then on Thursday I did my leg workout routine and then sat in Group Ride for 20 minutes. I couldn't stay the whole time since I had to work. But got some leg work in.
This weekend I am entered in a swim meet but don't know how much or if I'll actually swim in it. I'm not feeling really confident about my swimming and well I'm the only one I know going to this meet. I really don't want to be on my own at a meet. It makes it so boring and I'll be beating myself up mentally the whole time. Oh well I guess I have all day to think about it.
