Nov 1:

Warmup:

200 drill

_____________

Did the 400 TT in 5:44. A hell of a long way from my 1993 pb of 4:12.xx. As they say, use it or lose it.

Lets see where I get to by Nov 30.

Swimming Workout of the Day:

Favourite Swim Sets:

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

I am in too, although I just getting a cold.
Did 2200u easy, after a long run.
AR

Nov.1 Long course meters
1000 warm up
2 x 500 every other 50 at race speed
10x100 on 1:45 pull relaxed tempo


3000 meters 57,000 more to go.

I got in my first swim of the challenge - 2,900m. That's longer than I usually do in a swim session, if I keep this up 35km will be no problem!

On a different note , if people want to know the calculations for spreadsheet, it works just like excel. For your total distance the calculation is =SUM(?7:?36) where ? is your row letter. For your distance to go, the calculation is =?38-?3 (or ?4 or ?5, depending if you're measuring meters, yards or miles).

Just a bit of humor. :)

EDIT:

Is the spreadsheet borked for anyone else? Looks like the formatting got screwed up.

Did 1,000. Just an easy swim with a few drill sets thrown in for fun. I've been doing these one-arm drills that 'seem' to be helping with my catch. Or lack of catch. Or something like that. Anyway, you stroke with one arm. And I don't mean it like that. Dirty minds.

"In case of flood climb to safety"

It is still Nov. 1 in California. Can I still play? My goal is 60,000 yards.

Of course; welcome.

Dude, 2000 flip turns is a very depressing way to think about it.[/reply]
Just a bit of humor. :)

If there is something wrong with it, can someone else fix it please? I don't know how to make it work other than typing workouts in. Thanks!

I fixed the spreadsheet...again. I think people are trying to move around rows and in the process are messing up the formulas. Please stop hurting the spreadsheet. I'm going to keep my eye on it and if I notice that it's broken I will fix it.

When I open the spreadsheet, it says "View Only", and I can't edit it... how do I fix that?

Oh, and I put in 1200 yd last night (11/1) - 10% of my goal. Not much and pretty slow by most folks standards, but my shoulders are sore. Funny how much easier it is to swim when you actually move your legs a bit instead of just dragging them along behind you...

And I'm planning to hit the pool again at lunch today. If my arms don't give out.

Funny. I accessed it with Firefox 2.0 from my Linux box and had no problem editing. Had problems using even newer versions of Firefox from both my Mac and Windoze boxen.

Oh well.

I took a break from triathlon and this site to deal with real life since May, and I recall only swimming a handful of times since then. But I have a race in Phuket in exactly a month and a major goal for a race next year. Am back training and have a new program, so I'm in.

But I start swimming on Monday;-)

It was a hard set. I'm not sure what that would convert into SCY. It felt harder than a 2:35 but I only swim SCY once every couple of weeks now so I don't have a good feel for those times anymore. Anyway here is todays workout...

Thank you for the spreadsheet repair.

sets of 500s are my favorite thing to do - they are hard though! I never have any qualms about doing sets of 400s but you throw that extra 100 y in there and it seems to wear me right out... nice set.

JASON!!! I'm stressing. I have a meet tomorrow and my stroke felt horrible today. I didn't as much swim as I just crashed through the water. Which one of you stole my pretty freestyle? Give it back! NOW!!!!

I have been looking forward to this meet for 2 months (yes, I'm serious) because it is at my FAVORITE pool and I want so much to feel good and swim well (like I did yesterday) but today I swam terribly (seriously, look at those 100 splits, they suck) and so now I am stressing, and will be until, like, my races are over tomorrow. (I'm swimming the 200 and the 500, maybe some IM events and relays? but definitely the 200 and the 500)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

um, 3000 scy today.

750 w/u
15 x 50 - 3 of each drill, kick, free/back, kick, free
