6,150 Yard Sunday Swimmania Workout

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.  With my crazy work week it seems if I'm going to swim I gotta make it on WorkoutSunday.  So it was early to bed and early to wake to go swimming.  And if my calculations are right I swam 6,150 yards this morning.

Warm Up
200 Swim
4x100's easy on 2:00

It wasn't fast but I did it.  I'm a bit out of shape and only swim once a week so I'm okay with that average pace.  (1,650/2,750)

Took a break then kicked an easy 400 (400/3,150)

7    1:22.5     100     1:23
8    1:22.4     100     1:22

I was getting fatigued.  I could feel my arms and legs getting tired.  I was going to call it quits but kept going.  (800/4,250)

4x50's Something.  I don't remember.  I think it was backstroke but the Garmin Swim says breaststroke which I know it wasn't.  Oh it was backstroke with fins.  (200/4,450)

200 Kick.  Now I'm killing time to everyone gets to the pool for the Sunday Swim. (200/4,650)

300 Kick 100 Free/100Back/100Breast (300/4,950)

300 something.  It looks like 100 Free, 100 Back and 100 Breast.  But I can't remember what it was.  Oh, wait, 50's maybe.  I had the watch on drill mode so I don't got anymore info.   (300/5,250)

Yes, a good chunk of yardage for the day.  6,150 yards!  I can't recall if I've swam that much in at least 20 years!

That workout made me feel a little better about my YTD Go The Distance.  With hopefully one more swim this month or more I will at least get to 7 miles this month.  Which is nothing to what I use to swim but hey a swim is a swim.  I swam more today then I did in the whole month of October.  That is sad!
