March 9th - Fun In The Sun

Saturday's are always good for swimming when the weather is great.  This day was no exception.  I even had Amy with me to keep me going.

Here was the workout:

600 wu - 200 swim/200 kick / 200 drill

Set 1 - 4 X 200s EN1 

Set 2 - 4 X 75s drill fly

Set 3 -  6 X 125s working turns EN2

Set 4 - 4 X 150s fly - drill for a 100, swim for a 50

Set 5 - 5 X 100s EN3

150 wd

Since I skipped Thursday, it had been since Tuesday since I swam, so I wasn't sure how I'd feel.  Set 1 was only at ENI, so I made sure to stretch those out.  Each one I felt better and better until I brought them down to a 2:23.  I think it was 2:30, 2:29, 2:27, 2:25, 2:23.  This was yards, so to convert to SCM (so I can compare to weekday workouts), means they started around 2:46 and finished around 2:38.  Not bad.  The drills were good.  For the 125s working turns, I don't recall my times :-(.   Set 5 though, all 100s I ended up going 1:06s, which is 1:13s.  That is ok, but now that I see it was supposed to be EN3, I think I might have not pushed it hard enough.  Good to know for next time.
