Morning Workout - SCY

400 warm-up = 400 yards

12 X 75s on 1:05 = 900 yards
12 X 50s on :45 = 600 yards
12 X 25s on :20 = 300 yards

total = 2,200 yards

Felt sluggish this morning, but go figure since it was at 5:45 AM. My body is waking up like clockwork now, exactly 2 minutes before my alarm goes off at 5:10 AM. This can't be good!! I need sleep but my body says no!! My workout was nothing special. Using these mornings to just keep my stroke together and get ready for IGLA. 22 days until I depart for Florida!! Its coming up fast. I NEED TO KICK BUTT!

Evening workout : LCM

600 warm up = 600 meters

4 X 50s skulling = 200 meters

6 X 100s - 3 free / 3 back = 600 meters

400 IM kick - descend within 50s = 400 meters

4 X 50s skulling = 200 meters

3 X 200s - choice (I did IM). They are on 6:00
1st - 100 fly/back rest 30 then 100 breast/free
2nd - 100 fly/back rest 15, then 50 breast rest 15, then 50 free
3rd - 50 fly - 50 back - 50 breast - 50 free - rest 10 seconds after each 50 = 600 meters

Then we did starts.

Total = 2,600 meters

Only doing 2,600 meters upsets me. Maybe I am missing something. As for the IMs at the end, after deducting the rest time, my times were 2:40, 2:37, 2:30. They were good times. I really had nothing in them, but still worked them really hard. My main goal was to catch Patrick on the end of each one. He was 10 seconds ahead and going free in the next lane. It was fun to catch him at the end each time which made me go faster. I am just pooped as I am working my body to the ground. But this is good, since I need to be the best I can be at IGLA. Soon it will be time to taper. But really, with a workout of only 2,000 meters, what does one have to taper off of? Great thing about IM though, is that my freestyle feels great coming off the breast. Yea! 22 days until my flight to IGLA...yippee!
