This Is Not A Joke, I Tried To Swim Semi-Workout
Saturday, March 30, 2013
Yeah, my second swim for the month of March is now done. Yup, two swims in one month. I'm on a roll. I decided that since on Saturday's I only teach a 30 minute spin class later in the morning I could start swimming again at least on Saturday. Hey, one day a week isn't too bad. Well, yeah it is! I'm looking at the last few times I swam and it's really sad. Once every two weeks. Saturday, February 26th then Saturday, March 16th. Why am I even bothering swimming anymore?
I can't get the damn Garmin Swim watch to connect to figure out what I swam and all he info. The total on my watch said I swam 1,800 yards. Grrr…not that it was much of a swim. It was me just splashing around a bit.
Warm Up
300 Swim
200 Pull
200 Kick
I did some 50's Pulling on 55. Some with paddles some without. How many? Hmm..oh wait it looks like my watch might be syncing, or not?
Oh yeah 6x50's pulling w/o paddles. I missed the first 50 recording on the watch cuz I didn't hit the button hard enough.
1 :40.6 50 1:21
2 :40.6 50 1:21
3 :39.1 50 1:18
4 :40.5 50 1:21
5 :40.0
I think the interval was like 55 seconds. Then I did 6x50's with pulling with paddles.
1 :40.5 50 1:21
2 :40.2 50 1:21
3 :39.3 50 1:18
4 :41.3 50 1:23
5 :40.2 50 1:20
6 :40.7 50 1:21
200 Kick. Nice and easy.
Then I tried to do some 25's but couldn't see the clock and although I tried to set a custom mode on the watch for me to get sendoffs I screwed up so that was only 2x25's.
3x50's Fly/Back, Back/Breast, Brest/Free
then some talking...
3x50's Fly/Back, Back/Breast, Brest/Free
Then an easy 50 cool down.
I guess that's 1,900 yards give or take.
That is really really sad! In three months I've swum as much as a really bad swim month.
Jan 6.96 miles (=12,250 yards, =11,201 meters)
Feb 6.25 miles (=11,000 yards, =10,058 meters)
Mar 2.50 miles (=4,400 yards, =4,023 meters)
Total 15.71 miles (=27,650 yards, =25,283 meters)
I really need to get my act together! I'm so out of swim shape!
