For whatever reason, we're changing our Wednesday pool starting next week. No more in the non-metric pool. Now it's all metres, all the time (LCM on Monday & Friday, SCM on Wednesday). So with today being farewell, and since the long weekend is cancelling the next two swims, I tried to put my best effort into today. We didn't do anything too hard to start, although counting 40 lengths is a bit mind-numbing. I kept something approaching good form most of the way through, with lots of flip turns, so there was that. Then we did sprints, with paddles. I don't know who came up with this idea, but they should be shot. Although I normally go faster with paddles over 200+ metres, I was just about at my usual 50 yard sprint times. It's impossible to get the turnover, and the last 10 yards the triceps were screaming. It's just mean, but that usually means it'll make me faster, so I put up with it.
Swim: w/u - 200yds each free, non-free, pull
1000 ez free, 1' as 75 ez/25 head-up
200 ez non-free
2x(4x50 sprint w/paddles, 1'
100 ez non-free, 15"
100 ez pull, 1')
Total: 2600yds
Edited at 3:16pm:
Went for the afternoon run, an easy 20 minutes, about 2.5 miles according to Google Maps. This ranks among the smartest ideas I've ever come up with, right after marrying my wife (although that was mostly her idea). I feel refreshed, nobody will get punched today, and there was a fox running through the park, so all is good.
Run: 2.5 miles, easy
