Going The Short Distance To Get To The GTD
Tuesday, July 30, 2013
Another day another swim. After teaching spin this morning I decided to head to the pool from the 12-12:50 lap swim. I was planning on just pulling a little bit since my legs were tired and sore from spinning.
Warm Up:
200 Swim
Warm Up Set:
10x50's Pulling No Paddles on 50
1 2:55.3 200 1:28
I started my Garmin Swim but something went wrong.
2 :40.6 50 1:21
I realized I was on my 3rd 50 by now and it was only reading 250 yards. Note: I was in one of my custom modes on the watch.
1 :39.4 50 1:18
I swam a few more 50's and nothing on the watch but one 50. I closed out of custom mode and went into a standard swim mode for the last 4x50's.
1 :39.7 50 1:19
2 :39.1 50 1:18
3 :40.4 50 1:21
4 :40.5 50 1:21
The warm water was getting to me. (500/700)
Main Set:
6x100's Backstroke on 1:50
1 1:25.6 100 1:26
2 1:25.9 100 1:26
3 1:25.5 100 1:26
4 1:23.0 100 1:23
5 1:18.6 100 1:19
6 1:13.4 100 1:13
Not too bad. Had a bit too much rest but the water was super hot and the sun was right on top of me so needed cool off time. My legs were feeling a bit better so I was working the walls seeing how fast I could get off from the push off. (600/1300)
Now in my head I remembered I needed to swim at least 1,400 yards to match last months total for GTD. Needed something easy.
Final Set:
6x60's Pulling w/ Paddles on 50
1 :36.3 50 1:12
2 :37.7 50 1:16
3 :38.4 50 1:17
4 :37.9 50 1:16
5 :39.2 50 1:18
6 :39.9 50 1:20
And that was it. (300/1600)

Yeah! It's not much but I feel like I'm back on track. In fact I'm going to swim tomorrow morning to push it a bit more!
