After a bit of a restless night's sleep (ache in the legs), I had another early rise for another swim. (Q: When will I stop talking about how early I wake up? A: When I stop waking up at 4:50.) The legs actually weren't too bad, it wasn't like "I can't go down stairs" pain, just a dull ache to remind me of what I did yesterday.
Just to make things fun, we had our assistant coach out today, fresh from Oceanside 70.3, so things get switched up a bit. You can imagine my joy when I see that the warm-up includes a couple of 100m kick lengths. (Did I mention the ache?) The workout was actually lots of fun, with different paces throughout the main set. I was swimming very strong today, to the point that I lapped my lane. Two reasons for this: 1) I had a good day, and was putting out a good effort, 2) Because I lead the lane, there's no one to talk to during shorter rest periods, so I can keep to the prescribed workout. Sometimes the rest of the lane takes longer rest with some chatting. (Not a complaint or a criticism, just an observation.)
Swim: w/u - 2x300m as 100 free/100 kick/100 pull
3x(200 free, 30", moderate
2x100 free, 30", faster than pace of 200
200 ez pull, 30")
c/d - 400 as 50 drill/50 free (1&2: six-kick switch, 3&4: one-arm (5 strokes per arm))
Total: 2800m
For the three 200m efforts, I did 4:04, 4:04, 4:14. My goal for the 100s then was sub-2:00, and I got it every time (1:53-1:59). These weren't quite all-out, but I wasn't going to be holding that pace a whole lot longer. When I was getting a bit too far ahead of my lane, there was some talk of moving me up, but I think it's best we wait and see what Adam thinks about that. Maybe I'm not shit anymore, I may suck.
We'll see how the 750m TT goes on Monday. I'd love 15:00, but would be excited with 16:00.
Run: 3 miles @ 7.2 mph
