Eye of the storm

Monday was hard. It made me want to cry. (Maybe not, but at least curl up for a while.) Friday ... well, Friday is another benchmark day. It's not the high-intensity work of Monday (turns out, my pacing was appropriate; it should have been 100% from rep 3-4 on), instead it's the longest continuous swim we've done so far. 3000m. No stopping. Luckily, the coach took pity on us, and today was mostly form and drill work, although by the end of the day, we'd still logged some good distance. I'm not passed out at my desk, so that's a step up from Monday.

Swim: w/u - 200 yds free, 200 as 25 breast/25 back
5x200, 30" as 100 drill/100 ez free
(Drills: finger drag, 10&2, forearm flop, full scull, fist)
200 as 25 breast/25 back
4x300, 30" (gloves, pull, finger paddles&pull, free)
c/d - 75 back, 75 breast, 50 free
Total: 3000 yds

And then there was the after work run ...
Run: 6 miles @ 7.0 mph
