12/1:

750 warmup

100s on descending interval by :01, starting at 1:30. Made #17 in 1:13 (next would have started at 1:14). Short break then
joined the rest of the crew (who apparently only did 10-11, then an easy swim) for their 75s. Did 8 75s starting at 1:07 and
ending at 1:00.

3100scy.

Well then, welcome. Let's start off this month with something easy, not terribly humiliating :)

Just 1500 sc yardages this AM in super windy conditions and pool covered with leaves and who knows what else...

500 swim
5x100 various kicks
5x100 free@1:30 cruised with times of 1:10 to 1:15 - had a gap between 2 & 3 where the wind blew the clock down and waited for deckhand to reset it.

We're supposed to get winds up to 60 mph with occasional 80 mph bursts!

Proud member of FISHTWITCH: doing a bit more than fish exercise now.

Just finished the November swim challenge yesterday, barely. Started a few days late, but haven't swam this much since '09. Back then I was only starting to bike and run at all, so that is saying something. My arms were complaining last night, I think I might take a day off before jumping back in for the Polar Bear challenge. My earbuds leaking and ruining my tunes has not been helping either, but H2OA is mailing me some fresh tips so that problem should be temporary.

Now if I could just ease up on the eating I'd be losing weight. I'm pretty sure I'm getting more toned, but not lighter.

Splish splash.

Ended November over 42,000 yds in the pool. Started swimming in June and my biggest month coming into November was maybe half that. Set a PB today in the middle of the main set of 7:22 for 500 yd maybe 85% effort. That's better than my "all out" PB of 7:30 set the end of October. December may be the month I learn to flip turn.

Today I did 2000 yd.

500 warm up with drills, 500 hard (7:22), 200 easy swim, 5 x 100 negative split (1:30 down to 1:20). Then cool down with drills.

50K for December would be real cool if I can get my back to hold up. I think swimming is almost the hardest on my back of the 3 disciplines due to constant twisting.

I'm in the middle of an 8-week block of 5/week swims -- 3 master's group, and 2 individual. I'm also going to Boston for a week for a conference on Saturday, and I think there's a pool at the hotel, so fingers crossed I can keep the momentum going.

I decided 2012 is the year I become a decent swimmer, and I'm thinking posting here might help give me a little extra motivation to get to the pool and get in some solid workouts. Volume has always worked well for me for biking and running, so I'm taking that approach to swimming. I swam about 24,000 yards in the last 7 days (including today), which is about double my normal volume so today's workout was a little weak due to tired shoulders.

3400 yards.

1000 warm up (about 15:30ish)
4x500 descending with a minute rest (8:00 down to 7:15)
400 easy cool down

Bottom feeder checking in.

Almost hit 50k last month. Unfortunately was out of town for Thanksgiving for 4 days and was sick the last 3 days of the month. Finally got back in the pool today for a very easy 2000m. That swim seems to have cleared my sinuses out :)

swimmers.
