So just got back from the distance meet today, and got to watch Rappstar do his 1st real swim meet. First Jordan's swims. He opened with the 500, going out in 1;01 flat or so, faded up to about a 1;06, but then brought it home for a 5;23..He had a pretty good break before the 1000 where he went out the 1st 500 in 5;31, which i though was good considering his straight 500 time, but then humped it back in a 5;27+ and just squeezed under 11 flat for his 1000. Really great effort, but i had to scold him about not taking advantage of a perfect draft in the lane right next to him. This guy was a 1/2 body lenght almost the entire way, Jordan pulled even with 25 to go, then the ex swimmer instinct arose in that guy and he put an entire body length on jordy the last lap. But a really great pacer for something like the 1000..
Next up was his 200, and this is where he suffered, going out a bit slower than his 500, and coming home almost the same as his last 100 in the 1000. I think around 2;04 or 2;05. The he lead off the last relay and hit a 58.6 for his 100. Good 1st effort from a non swimmer who works extremely hard..
My day was a grinder, guess i wanted my monies worth. Began with the 400IM and hit 5;09, got into the next event which was the 200 back, which i do not believe i have ever done, and went 2;36. Very next event was the 200 brst, where i did some crazy splitting, 1;23 to a 1;21+ for a 2;44. Guess i was worried about tying up, so was very conservative that 1st 100.
Next up was the 200 fly, once again i split very even, 1;15 to a 1;17 for a 2;33. Then right after was the 200 IM, where i hit a 2;25+, and boy were my arms tired.. All and all very pleased with this 1st attempt this year, especially since all my training is alone with you guys. I'm at or just ahead of where i was at last year at this time, so good for the head mojo..
400 IM- 5;09+
200 back- 2:36+
200 breast- 2;44+
200 fly- 2;33+
200IM- 2;25+
about 4500+ of warm up, warm downs, and just trying to stay loose between the quick back to backs
