Back in the water Monday morning. I'm feeling pretty good, however my legs are a little sore from my bike on Sunday. That's OK - I won't be using them as much in the pool.
I scheduled a long swim for the morning. With a 300 warm-up and cool-down. For my interval set I wanted to get in a total of 1800 yards.
At first, after getting in the pool, I got my warm up done and felt pretty good. I figured on doing 9x200 intervals to get to my total yardage for the day. After starting my first interval I started thinking to my self. I said, Self - why no do 700 yards straight and time it. So off I went. After doing the 700 yards I took a look at my watch and it showed 11:22. Now that is more like it. I knew that the swim at Morrison was an abnormality. I really can swim a lot faster.
I did a second set of 700 and fininished off the day with a 400 and a 100 yard. Cool down felt great. I felt like I accomplished something. I felt strong again. Keep rocking and keep training. CIAO! |
