Tell them they are wimps if they don't. I would accept your challenge, and probably suggest that we race butterfly.

Some part of that should probably be in pink.

Fun one tonight

400skps
4x50 odds kick, evens pull

2x {
4x150 desc 1-4
100 ez
300 @ 4th 150 pace
}

200 ez warmdown

Except instead of warmdown subbed a “fast” 50 off the blocks. “Fast” in quotes because it sucked. 30.6. I was pretty trashed after the 300’s which were 3:52 and 3:57. On the second one I was dying at the 75 mark.

Fun workout.

(And yes, my lane mates did join me, but they’re swammers as well)

I jumped out in the middle of the first set of 150’s for a quick 4 lengths of video). Just taking video today and we’ll be going over it next week.

Practice as written: 2800m

I did 2700

2020 National Masters Champion - M50-54 - 50m Butterfly

Easy/Technical today. Mostly worked on drills. Great, as I donated blood this afternoon, and a threshold workout might have been tough.

WU:
300 Easy
4 x 100 Pull/Kick/Pull/IM

MS:
3 x {20 x 25} @ :40
Various drills. Free and Breast. Most of it was distance per stroke stuff. Goal was to stay consistent. Plenty of rest.

2x{ putting it all together
6 x 50 @ 1:00 (Free/Breast/Free)
3 x 100 @ 2:10 (Free/Breast/Free)
100 easy
}

Goal for Feb was to hit 10km per week, which I was just shy of. That being said I noticed a significant improvement in my speed, but also endurance by hitting the pool 3x a week, proving what I've been reading for the past 3-4 months. Honestly, just stoked to not be a walking zombie after a 4km session as I was at the beginning of the year.

Nice work!

I’ve just started logging workouts again in an excel spreadsheet, went back to beginning of feb (thankfully wrote them all down in this thread). Biggest week so far is a little shy of 9k, but I’m gonna push that over 10 this week and maybe a bit more by next week. Trying to get in at least 4x now (3 club and one on my own).

I’m definitely having more fun in the pool now that I’ve gained back a bit of swim fitness. Still a long way to go.

Easy and quick 2k after morning run;

5x100IM kick@2;10(1;53 to 1;51)
2x500p@7;00(6;35/6;30)
6x50@1;00, odds fly/evens buoy(fly-37/38/39/buoys41's)
200IM kick
2000SCY

Still just ocean swimming. This morning had some wind chop that kept trying to change my course towards San Clemente Island. It’s still 54-55° with 52 in the first 20 yards at Shaw’s Cove.
I was thinking of racing the Aquabike at Desert Tri. The GF is doing the Duathlon. For the swim, they now require your wetsuit to be dunked in a chlorine solution before they’ll let you in the lake. Afraid of invasive species mollusks getting in there. That, and day of race entry fee plus letting my USAT license expire — don’t want to spend that much.

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

Eddie Reese presser ahead of Big 12's. I love Eddie. Some great pearls of wisdom in there.
