HAH, I didn't even swim this AM! I feel the tension leaving my upper body. I think this is a well deserved break.
On the other hand, I rode at lunch yesterday: 15 miles in 49 minutes for 18.4 mph average. 1168 feet of climbing, though. It was awesome, I felt really good.
Going to run some steep singletrack today.

You need to find a 400m race to swim.

Morning 4/3

Had a great swim this morning after a long day yesterday. Felt tired when I got in, then had a great main set that hardly felt challenging. Added a rep from last week and swam a but faster.

400/300/200/100 skps
4x200 fins 100k/50dr/50build
4x50 on :45 get ready
16x100 on 1:40 avg 1:17, fastest 1:14, slowest 1:20 (8th)
Felt relaxed, could have done at least a few more.
10x50 on :50 paddles/buoy
4100scy

Very happy with today's swim. Going to lift later and do a ton of PT.

Man did I enjoy my week in Tucson over spring break for this reason, hills are so much fun compared to Gulf coast flat. Your swim speed will come back fast, I fretted about my last few months swim break, upon return on 1 to 2x/wk swims I'm 90% back to my usual middle age swim times,

yesterdays AM swim,
500 wu
3 x 500 @ 7:30 (~6:40)
5 x 100 @ 2:00 (1:12-1:13)
200IM cd

2700 scy

You guys are lucky that you can get it back quick. I'm still trying to ingrain form to where I can take time off and get the feel back within a few weeks!

Saturday AM swim (also have a looooong ride this afternoon):

1000 easy
fins on 8x150 k/d/s by 50 on 2:20
Main Set (3x through)
20x25 paddles build to fast on :25 (avg :17-:18)
200 moderate buoy/paddles on 3:00 (avg 2:45)
200 easy buoy on 3:10

100cd for 5000scy

Got this set from Sutto's website. First round had me wondering if I'd do 3 rounds or cut back to 2. After 2 I felt good so went for it. Struggled mightily to hold form on the last mod 200. Overall, I really liked the set. Forced me to work on getting up to speed fairly quickly! Got a 3hr ride later.

I'm just getting back into my swimming groove for the season. Yesterday's set beat me up:

Warm Up
200 skp
8x50 on :60 (descend 1-4, 5-8)

Main Set:
10x 150 broken
as 100 cruise-shorter rest, then 50 hard- longer rest
(I held 1:22-4 on the 100s, pushed off on the 1:30. I held 36-7 on the 50s, pushed off on the :60. So, send off on the 2:30 for the entire 150)

12x 50s on :60 as 25 hard IM order down, 25 easy free back

CD:
200, practice left side breathing, sometimes 2:3 breathing.

3300 SCY






Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

I'm not really going to lose any swim speed over a few days off. In fact, I bet I get faster. I think I got all bound up - perhaps bit overtrained for my last race. Anyway, swam this AM in the ocean. 65 deg and beautiful. On my return trip, I crossed paths with the Oak Street gang doing their annual Easter Float Parade swim.

There were at least 20 out there. Cracked me up.
I got in 3.5 miles in about 1:40.

I had 2 things working for me today: 1) I created fake motivation by getting into a debate about flip turns 2) I wore a wetsuit in the pool to get used to it per race next week.

Warm up was 4 x 200s kick on back the 4th and 8th 25. Good sign when you are cranking out 2:40s in warmup on this kind of set.

Mainset: 12 x 150s on 1:55 went between 1:42 and 1:45 on all of them. Tried to find a groove pace, tht ended up being around 1:09 / 100

200 warm down alternate back / free. Took about 2:45 to complete. In total I swam 2800 METERS in less than 39 minutes.

I've got PT today too, and I'll lift later. Spring break this week means plenty of time to sleep and train!!! (Usually I get plenty of the training, and not as much sleep as I'd like)

Sweet. Pretty sure I'd have a coronary after 2 repeats at that speed!

How old is your son? On Tuesday evenings I usually jump in lane swim while my daughter has her weekly practice. She's turning 11, started with summer league last year.

8. Cruising 25s around 30, sprint 25-28.

He figured out egg beater recently so his polo skills are taking off as well.

Ran indoor 1200 in 6.02 when he was 7.
