what's this? "50 SoL 1-6 / 50 6-6 PULSE

SoL or Statue of Liberty is my version of the old "6 kick switch". 1-6 is one stroke per 6(or more) kicks

6-6 Pulse or 'Pulse Kicking' in general is an original activity that involves changing something about the kick every set number of armstrokes.
So 6-6 PULSE (1 beat - 2 beat) means swim 6 strokes with a 1 bt, then 6 strokes with a 2 bt, back and forth. Endless variety on that one....6-6 PULSE HARD-EASY, 8-4 PULSE SWIM-PULL, 10-10 PULSE 1 bt - 6bt etc etc.

6 x (
100 IM cruise
200 T pace)
300 CD

3000 SCM

First couple of 200s were slower than it felt like they should have been based on effort. Then I realized my stroke rate was really low for some reason. Picked that up a bit and things felt back in line with what I would have expected. I'll have to keep an eye on that and not be lazy.

You begin by swimming 4 x 200, descending 1-4 on a relatively loose interval (~:45 rest). After completing the 4th 200, you immediately begin another set of 4 x 200 descending, with the 1st swim of this second set swum faster than the 1st swim of the first set, the 2nd swim of this set faster than the 2nd swim of the 1st set, etc. Then you do a 3rd set of 4 x 200, this time with the 1st 200 swum faster than the 1st 200 of the 2nd set, and so forth.

I don't usually wander into these threads (I'm not sure why), but I have a question about etiquette - are you guys posting someone else's workouts? i.e. if you swim masters, are you cutting and pasting what your coach gave you? Or are these all self written?

I wrote this, you should read it:

I'm not on all that much, but I'll generally say if it's a workout from master's swim.

I haven't swam much lately... it's trail running season!
So Saturday, I ran the WhoosIn El Moro 25k trail races. I clocked it at 15 miles with over 2500 feet of climbing and a mix of fire road and single-track, but mostly a lot of steep sections and a two mile downhill finish that drops nearly 750 feet (oh my quads!). I bettered my time by over 5 minutes from last year and I didn't cry in pain at the end - could actually walk! And, for the third year in a row, I placed first in my division (geezers). 21st overall.
On Sunday there was a road race, a 5k and 10k race known as Dino Dash. Last year, I won the 5k in 21:07 and won a highly coveted whimsical ceramic dinosaur trophy made by the high schools students of the school district that puts on the race. This year I did not race, but my GF has not won a dino trophy in two years of trying. She did this year, also in the 5k, with a 20:54. I checked my age group winning times - 5k: 22:47; 10k 1:00:and change. Crap, I should have raced and gotten myself another dino!

This Thursday and through the weekend, trail racing takes a back seat to Catalina Swim Camp where 65 open water swimmers from around the world converge to swim, party, swim, party and eat occasionally. We will get in one swim to a cave, that'll be about 3 miles round trip and then another as our boat takes us to a destination (last year it was Doctor's Cove) and we can elect to swim back - about 4 miles. There will be a lot of other swims, some running, SUP, yoga and alcohol. Oh yes, of course, food, too. The GF and I will probably practice some SwimRun, too.

Oh, and we had the best compliment... we were asked, "Do you guys have an 'off' button?" nope!
