Friday's Swim Report - What Does The 1st Day Of Summer Mean? Men In Speedos, Enough Said.
Happy 1st Day of Summer. Let's head to the beach!

First Official Swim Of Summer!

It wasn't much of a swim but it was a swim.  The pool was damn too hot.  Once in the pool I decided it was going to be easy and short.  Mostly 25's it was.  Sooo_hotWarm Up
200 Swim
200 Kick w/fins.  100 free / 100 fly on back (400)

Then 20x25's Free on 30 Pulling breathing every 3.

It was damn hot!  I was beat red when done.  I got out of the pool to get my drink and cool off.  (500/900)

3 Rounds of 4x25's on 30 IM order.  Took 30 seconds extra rest in between rounds. (300/1200)

It was getting really dark outside.  Thunder clouds.  No thunder but I decided to get out.  As I was driving home the rain started and then the thunder.  Got out just in time.  1,200 yards in 30 minutes.

Month    Total Distance
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)
Apr    7.02 miles (=12,350 yards, =11,293 meters)
May    7.10 miles (=12,500 yards, =11,430 meters)
Jun    5.94 miles (=10,450 yards, =9,555 meters)
Total    35.77 miles (=62,950 yards, =57,561 meters)

Hopefully over the weekend I'll break my yardage/mile record for the year.  It ain't much these days but I find these small milestones are making me feel better about my swimming.  It may not be fast and my technique has suffered but just trying to keep some what of a base.  Then when I get serious again it won't be so horrible and that hopefully will be soon enough.
