I'm old. I must be, because I went to bed shortly after 9 last night, and was still dragging ass this morning. I could barely function well enough to get breakfast and gather my stuff to head to the pool. I was sure I was going to forget something, but it seems that everything made it.
The swim itself went well, although I was again pretty tired. We were given two options: 1) 3800 IM swim, or 2) regular workout. Since I'm not doing IM this year, I went with the normal workout, and got moved up another lane, with even faster people than I usually have to chase. We did solid workout, lots of descending sets, which I'm getting better at pacing, and didn't fall nearly as much of the pace as I expected. I was still last, but I didn't get lapped. So we'll call that a win.
Swim: w/u - 200m each free, non-free, pull
2x(3x300 descending, 30"
1) free (6:20/6:00/5:40), 2) pull (6:00/5:50/5:35)
200 ez non-free)
2x200 paddles (I forgot to use pull buoy)
Total: 3200m
Good stuff. I hit the water today for the first time in almost 2 years... it was rough.
ReplyDeleteYou were probably still faster than me. But you do have a few million yards headstart.
ReplyDeleteI have no races for the next three weekends. We need to reschedule the trip to Niagara.
