This morning after dropping the kids at school, I went to the pool. The schedule called for a speed day.
warm up 400 continuous, last 50 in each 100 kick
main: 9 x 100 (25 easy, 25 build, 25 easy, 25 hard) I did them on 2:15
cool down: 6 x 25 I did touch and pull
I was feeling good in the water today, rock no more. The 1450 yards took a total of 31:09 to swim. The kick and touch and pull both slowed me down, but I felt great about the swim.
I got home, changed, and got on my trainer. Not so good. I started out doing a interval training DVD. After about 15 minutes, I dropped my chain. I got off my bike, fixed my chain, and turned off the DVD. I watched E! instead. I finished up the hour but not with great stats. Oh, well. It is a swim focused week and my swim went great.
By the way, I looked back at my race swim times and compared them to my time trial that I did last week. My time trial was FASTER then all my race swim except Waterfront where I swam in the river WITH the current and Music City where I wore a wetsuit. All this time in the water must be doing some good.
