When The Get Up And Go Stays Home Swim Workout.

Swimming this morning was exactly what my body needed.  After a week of teaching spinning my legs and hips were screaming for some down time.  Swimming actually gave them a break.  I wish I could have pulled the whole swim workout but alas I swam it.  Just took it easy.  Which was easy since the water was very warm.  Was never able to get my "get up and go" going.

Warm Up:
Mixed 500 Swimming and Pulling.
Then 200 Kick.

Main Set:
3x175's on 3 Minutes
3x125's on 2:10
3x75's on 1:30
3x25's on 30
In the 175's I was to swim a 75 of stroke, in the 125's a 50 of stroke, in the 75's a 25 stroke and then the 25's were stroke.  I did it all backstroke.
1    2:33.2     175     1:27
2    2:34.8     175     1:29
3    2:32.6     175     1:27

11    :24.2     25     1:37
12    :25.2     25     1:41
My swimming was all over the place.  I was swimming in between some bigger guys so at times it was swimming in open water.  Choppy waves!  Oy!  At least I got in a swim.  Slow or not it's better then not swimming.  (1200/1900)

So 1,900 yard swim in.  First swim of the month.
