Wednesday 8/22/07 - Felt Like Mush In The Water

This morning was a tough workout to do. I didn't feel good in the water at all and have to fight to stay alive. Kurt was swimming next to me, and working it pretty hard, so that helped me. Here was the workout:

SCM Pool:

W/U
400 swim
200 kick
400 pull

6 X 100s - alternate IM with back per 100 on 1:40

Pull set:
9 X 150s - 3 on 2:15, 3 on 2:05, 3 on 1:55

150 C/D.
Total - 3,100 meters

The IMs were tough which was a sign of things to come. Kurt was working the fly and back. Normally I am slightly ahead of him at the fly and we turn even or close at back. This time around he was even at the fly and ahead at back. This forced me to work the breast and surprisingly my swims were strong. I was able to get ahead of him and extend on free. My times though weren't that great. My IMs were 1:28, 1:23, 1:19. My backs were around 1:25s I think. The water was hot like always and wavey, but I got a good workout it. I really struggled.

The pull set was also not clicking. On the first round of 3, I went 1:53 (realizing too fast), then 1:57, 1:58. For the second round on 2:05, I went 1:53 - 1:55 on them. The final round I went 1:47, 1:50, 1:51. I had nothing but was surprised I only did a 1:51 on the last one.

It was a tough workout, but I did leave feeling I worked it hard.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
