Monday 6/27/07 - Keeping it strong

This morning I was back in the pool. I am doing my best to stay focused, with the goal for DC next year. Its 12 months away, so already applying so much hard work might be difficult. I don’t want to burn out, but at the same time, I don’t want to slack off. Its real motivating to produce some decent times in workout, or at least leave the workout knowing that I gave it my all and helped my progress to become a faster swimmer.

Here was the workout SCM:

600 warm up – every 3rd 25 – sculling

8 X 50s kick on 1:00

Main Set:
3 X 200s on 3:15 – descend – 3:00, 2:45, 2:28
3 X 150s on 2:30 – descend – 2:15, 2:00, 1:48
3 X 100s on 2:00 - descend - 1:30, 1:20, 1:07
3 X 50s on 1:00 - descend - :37, :33, :29

300 pull
Total - 2800 meters

My fast 200 was ok. I think I just didn't have that extra gear. The 150 was about the same, maybe a little better. My 100 was better, but only about a 1:00 for yards. Then my :29 was good.

Later on before I had to coach, I had to make sure I did my workout for P90X. Tonight was legs and back along with ab ripper. I was sort of rushed and only did about 85% of the workout, but it was better than nothing.
