just didn't feel good. Tired and cranky.

bummer... between realAlbertan's root canal, you not feeling good and me catching some virus or food poisoning last night we're in rough shape. bad things come in threes so maybe we're done.

I hope you are right, in that the 3 bad things have happened and the rest of us are safe. I drove down the mountain this morning and stopped at my pool on the way to see how i felt, not great it turns out.. But ground out a big distance type workout, actually was fun. I will do it again later when i feel better;

2000 straight swim, every 5th 100 hard--100's--1;14/1;15/1;11/1;11- took it easy in-between, 1;26 to 1;22 pace
1000IM kick@20;00- 18+
5x200p@2;45 easy-- mid 2;30's
4000SCY in just about 1 hour

Started swimming again, almost 20 years after "retiring" and 5 years since my last comeback attempt with a masters group. This time, a little better since the pool is more convenient (on my commute). It is a really nice, brand new 25m pool.

So far, 3 sessions this week, nothing really structured, just a bunch of splashing around. about 1500m on Monday, 2500 Wednesday, and about the same on Thursday. I'd like to get in 2 more swims this week.

I am so unfit it is scary. Did a flat out 50 at the end and couldn't break 30, and was working really hard on a 5x100 set - leaving on 2:00 and coming in at 1:18. A far cry from what I could do in college.

You know this, but:


In college you swam twice a day, every day. Don't compare :-)


I predict it will come back very quickly and within a few days you are <30 and <1:10.

I got to the gym later than usual, so 9.8 miles with 4 x 1 mile (avg. 6:19), then 1000 yds before I had to go to work. Darn work gets in the way of training :P

Yes it is. I like work but it needs to start later than 7:30. The only thing I should be required to do at 7:30 is churn out fast laps of freestyle

The wife went out of town and I took over Mr. Mom's taxi service duties in addition to work so I've been out of it a bit. The regional meet is tomorrow. I'm swimming 50/100 br and fly along with 100/200 IM (unless I signed up for 200 breast instead of 100 fly, don't remember my final decision on that one.)

I haven't done any race paced swims here, but I have been monkeying with all four of my strokes -- hopefully that works out.

That darn work is my recovery. If I didn't have that, I'd probably be pulling the training hours Dara is, but at my age, it'd kill me.
Swam in the company pool at lunch. The cleanest pool water ever, but no gutters or wall targets. It gets very much ocean-like and flip turns are scary - can miss either too close (OWWWW!) or too far away (OOOOPS!).

I'm sure you'll love it you are a fish!!!!

For me the long course is a love hate thing, I love it because I know it is good for me but hate it as it seems sooooooooooo much harder and I feel so much slower in the 50 MLC compared to the scy 25.

Have fun with the new pool

Long course is great, but it probably won't be set up that way often if U Texas was any indication. Maryland is it? If so that's a great school. And impressive run set.

I'm still trying to rehab, but swimming seems ok. Trying to keep the intensity down build back some strength to lower abs. No running. Everyone seems to be having health issues.
