Celebrating Six Years of Workout Posts By Getting Slower and Slower
Wednesday, January 02, 2013
My first swim workout for 2012. This makes year 6 of me posting workouts. Seems like only yesterday I posted my first swim workout. One thing I do remember about it was that I swam a hell of a lot faster then I do now. Here is the first workout post from Jan 2, 2006 LINK. After reading the post I realized I did post workouts in 05' but really let's say 6 years ago today for the fun of it! As for today's swim...
When I got to the pool everyone was already on deck so my warm up was only a 400. I was pulling w/o paddles. Then we did 3x100's kick. I meseed up with the Garmin Watch and enetered a 200 not a 300. I really couldn't see the watch in the dark.
Main Set:
3x100's on 1:40
3x200's on 3:20
3x100's on 1:40
1st Round of 3x100's I had to swim 1x25 choice. So I did them all 75 Free/25 Back.
200's I had to swim 1x50 choice. So I did them all 150 Free / 50 Back
2nd Round of 3x100's I had to swim them IM. Ugh!
Distance: 1,200 yd
Pool Length: 25 yd
Time: 19:38
Avg Pace: 1:20 min/100 yd
Calories: 264 C
Avg Efficiency : 32
Avg SWOLF : 29
1 1:19.2 100 1:19
2 1:22.5 100 1:23
3 1:18.2 100 1:18
4 2:39.5 200 1:20
5 2:36.5 200 1:18
6 2:35.9 200 1:18
7 1:23.4 100 1:24
8 1:22.9 100 1:23
9 1:17.8 100 1:18
The times are not exact as was gliding into the wall on the backstroke ones and then stopping the watch. The second one wasn't slower I was just having difficulty stopping the watch. (1200/1900)
That was it. I warmed down a 50. Should have done another 50 to even it up. But today's swim was 1,950 yards. Now this is the part of the post when I promise/resolve to swim more and swim harder in 2013. But I'm not. I'm not going to kid myself. I'll just swim when I can.
Hey lookie, I only gotta swim 86,050 yards this year! Oy!
