If I Swim Any Slower I'll Be Swimming Backwards Workout
Saturday, October 12, 2013
Luckily this morning I was able to remember where the pool was located. I haven't swam in about 11 days due to work and then having a cold. Normally 11 days of no swimming is pretty bad but considering I wasn't swimming that much before these 11 days and you get a very slow and sore swim workout. UPDATE: NOT 11 Days but 13 Days! Last time I swam was two weeks ago tomorrow! Oy!
Warm Up:
400 Swim
200 Pull
200 Kick
Main Set:
6x200's Free Descending.
- 1 & 2 Straight 200 yard swim on 3:00
- 3 & 4 Broken at 100 yard with a 10 second rest on 3:10
- 5 & 6 Broken at 50 yards with a 5 second rest on 3:20
It was a lot of math for my pretty little head. Luckily my Garmin Swim keeps track for me.
1 2:49.9 200 1:25
2 2:44.7 200 1:22
3 1:19.9 100 1:20
4 1:18.9 100 1:19
5 1:17.7 100 1:18
6 1:16.4 100 1:16
7 :37.7 50 1:16
8 :37.2 50 1:14
9 :37.1 50 1:14
10 :37.8 50 1:16
11 :35.1 50 1:10
12 :35.7 50 1:11
13 :35.6 50 1:11
14 :34.4 50 1:09
Somehow I was able to descend them but those times are super slow! A 2:49 for a 200 Free? OY!
