How Joel Lost His Swim Groove Back
Wednesday, June 26, 2013
90 minutes in the water is like a new record for me. Well at least over the last few months of my
quick easy swims. I felt great even if the water was 88F. Did some stretched out swims or garbage yardage. Since I didn't have to work this morning I got to the pool swam with another swimmer for a quick main set then stayed and did some fun yardage on my own.
Warm Up
500 mixed with some swimming and pulling.
150 Drill/Swim
150 Kick
1st Main Set:
8x100's on 1:40. I had to do a 25 of stroke in each one. 2 fly/2back/2breast and 2 choice which I did backstroke.
1 1:20.8 100 1:21
2 1:23.0 100 1:23
3 1:21.8 100 1:22
4 1:20.0 100 1:20
5 1:25.4 100 1:25
6 1:19.7 100 1:20
7 1:18.8 100 1:19
8 1:13.0 100 1:13
I was trying to descend them and not fall apart. I actually was feeling okay the longer I swam. Worked out the kinks and pains. (800/1600)
Then I did a 200 kick to cool off a bit. (200/1800)

100 easy kick. (100/2400)
10x50's Pulling w/Paddles breathing every 3 on 60 (500/2800)
1 :42.0 50 1:24
2 :41.4 50 1:23

4 :40.8 50 1:22

9 :42.8 50 1:26
10 :44.4 50 1:29
100 easy kick (100/2900)
500 Swim. Easy 75 then fast 25. Damn it. My Garmin Swim doesn't show this part. I know I did it. I was dying. I guess I hit the wrong button and didn't save it. F! (500/3400) The whole point of 10x50's, 10x50's and a 500 was to see if I could hold a pace for the 1,500. Looking at those 50's I can say I can't. I just wish I had that 500 to look at. Oh well I can do this set again on Sunday.
So 3,400 yard workout. The longest swim in ages and it felt good. The water was hot but I felt okay. Yeah, tired and sore but okay.
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 9.57 miles (=16,850 yards, =15,408 meters)
Total 39.40 miles (=69,350 yards, =63,414 meters)
Today's swim got me closer to my goal of swimming 10 miles this month. Which isn't a lot but compared to my swims this year it's a good milestone to reach. I pretty much have the day off so I'm so tempted to hit the pool at the next lap swim time. I know I can't swim tomorrow. Oh well we will see.
