No swim yesterday. I did a short run in the AM and a bike ride at lunch.
This AM, back to the ocean. Water is about 62 - slowly rising - It's Summer? You'd never know - it was drizzling.
3144 yards in 43 minutes.

Really tough set - things started to burn during the second 100 breast. It's also possible I took an extra 10s after the second 100 free as my brain wasn't calculating very well at that point.

I may try it again in a few weeks.

BTW, RealAB needs to be blamed for this. If he hadn't told me about Workout Wednesday on FloSwimming, I wouldn't have found it.

Oh, and we're getting off easy. The Lakeside kids in the video do it twice :-)

2600m at lunch, nothing special, mostly just a recovery swim with a couple of 85% efforts thrown in.

It's a slow time at work, getting swimming in while I can before budget season starts up.

Did a moderate effort 50 breast at the end of practice, trying to work on stroke timing. got down to a :43, which is pretty good for me! I think I've finally figured out that I have a habit of initiating the kick too early in the stroke cycle, so I'm pulling against dragging legs. Working on that today.

Breaststroke is weird....

I had to relearn that when I started swimming again. The timing of how I swam as a kid and what seems to be the proper way now is a bit different.

1800 m at lunch swim.

600 warmup (not long enough, but pressed for time because of work)

switched the test around slightly to go on standard off times instead of a rest period.

100 fly on 2:00 (1:11) - felt tight, needed longer warmup
2 x 100 back on 2:00 (1:21, 21)
3 x 100 breast on 2:30 (1:40, 41, 43)
4 x 100 free on 2:00 (1:11, 11, 11, 10)

200 ez warmdown

sum of stroke averages 5:24, 8 secs faster than last week. :-)

Just another fun day in the ocean this morning. Both air and water about 62F. Water is clearing up - easier to see the sharks!
3109 yards in 40 minutes.
Some of the pod is having a "Bob 'n Beer" evening. I was thinking of going - a nearly 2 mile swim in the ocean then go have some beers and maybe some food. But as I got home, the wind has picked up a lot, I decided against going.
I've also been invited to join a Maui Channel Relay team. I really want to go, but it's gonna be super expensive. But if I go, I'll swing in the Waikiki Roughwater Swim, as well. Get that crossed off my bucket list.

Filled up the backyard pool yesterday, wife took the toddler for a swim in it today. I think she was excited to get in. The pool is 65* today, apparently the almost-2 year old thinks its too cold....

Gotta get that kid to toughen up a bit ;-)

I have been on an off battling shoulder injuries for the past 12 months due to 2 bike crashes. Alas I am finally feeling 90% mobility which is perhaps the best I can hope for (does that mean it is 100%?).

I have a goal to go 20 x 100's on 1:30 with a 1:10 avg by November 1st. I would say rock bottom was when I was holding :36/:37 on "fast" 50's. Right now can hold 1:13 or so for about 12 x 100's but not for 20. SO I have an endurance AND speed issue.

To reach the goal I have two sub objectives:

24 x 25's on :30 holding :14
6 x 300's on 4:15 holding 3:45

I figure if I can do those sets, I can do the 100s.

This AM I did 24x25's and I grazed :14 on a few of them. But I was solidly :15. Progress is coming....

I was in the Rocklin (Sacramento/Auburn) area over the weekend. I got in a pool swim of just 2000 yards. Later that day, I got a 7 mile run in while pushing a baby jogger for half of it - all pavement (yuk). Oh, so long ago since I've done that!

This morning I got 3100 in back in my local pool:
1000s 13:06
4x250 kwf all strokes
10x100 alt IM@2:00/fr@1:45 ~1:24/~1:09-1:06
100 s/k cool
And then a short, relatively quick 3.7 mile run in 29 minutes - 50/50 pavement/trail

What kind of excuse is the shoulder injury thing on the fish thread....that's just an excuse to do your target 20x100m on 1:30 doing dolphin kick (fins optional, but since you are studly, no fins needed)!!!

4x25 free @ 30
250 build ???
4 x 25 IM @ 35

1200 warmup (mostly 100s of swim, kick, or drill, continuous.

5 x (
100 relaxed, good technique, odds no fins, evens w fins
75 kick (50 with board, 25 no board)
50 fast @ goal 200 pace. (#4 fly at goal 100pace for 2nd 50)

It's been really warm here lately. I usually just leave my swim gear in the trunk of my car, but I can't do that anymore. The heat has wrecked my goggle straps :-( broke today in practice. Now I'll have to lug the bag into the office.

On the plus side, I can hang my towel up in the car and it dries off during the day :-)

What's the best-by date on front-door brags? Just had a look at the FINA world rankings for 100 fly (2016 SCM - M 45-49)

:-)

I was actually just curious how far out of it I was, not expecting to be there....
