Default, Comic Super Hero Abs and A Scratch Plus Recovering From A Cold But Still Giving Some Random Acts of Fitness
Tuesday, February 04, 2025
I Shaved My Legs For What Now? Default, Comic Super Hero Abs and A Scratch.
Swim Meet Day / Friday:
Ugh…coming down with a cold or will it be Covid. So many people are out at work with one thing or another. Felt sort of
Crappy yesterday. Woke up crappy but feeling better. Gonna swim today, stay overnight and try to get through tomorrow. At the very most I may scratch Sunday. Hopefully once I’m swimming I’ll be fine. Maybe it’s just allergies? Or all in my head.
5B / Shake Shack - Just a burger and a sprite.
So warm. The pool is 82F. Didn’t do much of a warm up just a mixed 500. Really only cared about my backstroke count. I got plenty of time to warm up before my event. At least two hours before I swim.
400 IM. I took the 100 fly out way too fast. The rest was painful. So so painful. I so wanted to stop so many times. I just did what I could do to finish. Yikes
100 Fly Split 1:15.85
100 Back Split 1:36.96
100 Breast Split 1:59.64
100 Free Split 1:23.31
Ya can see I just died. I was toast!
Clapped and Cheered for others while waiting.
25 Fly. Ha. It is what it is. After the meet I went to my hotel. Wasn’t feeling good. The cold was coming. I was stuffy and had a hard time sleeping cuz I kept coughing.

#medalmonday Got to swim 2 events on Friday before getting sick. Gold for 400IM and Silver for 25Fly. Disappointed that I didn’t get to compete Sat and Sun but there will be other races. #swimming #mastersswimming pic.twitter.com/nZQZJv6pCR

I ended up first in my age group for the 400 IM and second for the 25 fly.
Got like two or three hours sleep. Woke up super congested and coughing. Tried eating but started to cough. Oh and cough. And cough. Coughed so much I started to throw up. Kept throwing up to I was dry heaving.
That was the end of my swim weekend.

Back to the gym. So soon? Well I couldn’t get sub for my 6:25am cycling class so yeah I’m hitting the gym. Thinking I’ll skip on Wednesday then back to gym on Thursday. Then on Friday back to the pool depending on how I feel.
