Trying That Swim Thing Again and Other Random Acts of Fitness
Sunday, September 17, 2023
Everything hurts right now. I have muscle aches in so many places some of which I didn't know I had muscles. Oh and the cramps! I can't walk. My first swim team based practice is years almost killed me. I know it wasn't much but now over three hours later I'm still sore.

THE SWIM WORKOUT:
SKPS 400 + 50 (450)
250 Pull Free (700)
6x 100’s 75 Free / 25 Stroke (1300)
Kick 50 Free then 100 IM (1450)
4x 100’s IM and Easy Free (1850)
Sprints off Block 1x50 and 3x25’s (1975)
I’m dead. I’m sore. I was cramping up. I can’t walk cuz both calf muscles are cramping. I’m so out of swim shape. I think that was the workout. I didn't use my watch or anything. The other day I was wondering to myself how long before I can do weights and then go to swim on the same day and as of now it'll be NEVER. HELL NO. It was great and I can't wait to go again. Everyone was super nice. The pool temp was 80F The drive wasn't bad less then 50 minutes so I have no excuse not to go.
Now I know I just can't go once a week so I'll have to do at least 2 other workouts by myself. At least to the Rowdy Gaines Swim Meet. Then I may have to go at 7am when the pool's open for lap swimming and do my best to be at work by 8am.
One more thing is that I already changed my swim affiliation from Unattached to SwimOut. So guess I'm really doing something again...
