Monday June 18th - Get into the Groove

This morning's workout was hard but good. In the beginning I just wasn't feeling it, but of course that is because its at 5:30am. Dr. Tom gives good workouts and this one I really enjoyed since the main set was a pull set. And I looooooooooooooove pulling.

Here it was:

Pool - SCM (Short Course Meters)

300 swim
200 kick
300 pull - warm-up

4 X 100s on 1:40 - descend

Main Set:
5 X 300s pull on 4:00

6 X 50s IM order by 25.

100 cool down
Total - 3,100 meters

The 100s descend were a good additional warm up. I went 1:28, 1:23, 1:17 and then 1:10. They were solid swims, nothing all out.

The main set was fun and painful. I went 3:37, 3:40, 3:41, 3:41 then 3:35. This is one of the workouts I discussed earlier that since sometimes we only have a few of us, I was able to step up the interval and do it on my own.

I need to feel more pain. Work harder. Swim farther. I need to see what I can really do. The swim season of 2007-2008 will be my test. The final..... Washington D.C., June 2008. IGLA. Do you dare to race me? Bring it!
