finally checking in here too..

wanted to ask if you saw your coach or not and any adjustments made.
wishing you continued success.

Main Set Tuesday was: "test set tuesday"

10 x 100 on an interval
I did 1:10 SCY with one other guy.
Managed 104 or 105. Depending on how lazy i was coming into the final wall. ha

I guess the goal would be to try 10 x 100 on 1:05 but that feels like a big leap right now. Ha Esp w all these holiday parties coming up

Not yet. We were out of town for T-giving. I was hoping to meet up this weekend, but my wife has an art show...so, probably the 8th. I'll post a summary when I do, like always.

So another month just passed and a new PB for me.

24 times in the pool the most swim workouts I ever did in a month.
97,300m that's also another PB as my best was done past month 92,200m...

I know Dev would push me to got back to the pool again today for a second workout to round the number to 100,000m but today I barely drag my body for this morning swim about 4000m. I will be honest I feel a bit toasted for the past 2 months, but this is also due that I have re-start indoor cycling with structure workout looking forward for recovery week after this Sunday.

Really hoping to make a breakthrough in my swim with this specific block.

Goal is to swim low 26mins for 1.2mi with a wetsuit alone and if I'm lucky enough find a good pair of feet to draft anything in 25's mins. This year was around high 28-29 mins... Just for the record before people start jumping that's a huge gap, I already did swam 26-27 mins many times in a wetsuit but that's many years back, and once 25:xx mins...

Will I make it? Don't know, at least, I will try... and I'm putting down some sort of work. #grindring

21/30, 15950 yards for the month.

Today was a 3.7 mi easy run and a 425 yd swim (4 x 100 on 1:30 and a 25 kick)

Thanks Dr Tigerchik!

Hey Alex, as of this morning, I need 101 km in the remaining days in December to get to 1200 km for the year. Basically after being run over by the bus, doing rehab and now piling on some mileage I am back on track to average 100 km per month for the year.

Soooooo.....why don't you join me for 100km in December and we can do 1/10th of the month's mileage during the 10,000m IM (or whatever 10k session) some time between Xmas and New Years.

Congrats!
