Back on track
I had to put this past weekend behind me and start the week off on a good foot. Was on time picking up James to go to our swim workout.
As James and I were walking up the pool deck, Mitch asked me if that was me running with Lyndon and Lesleigh Box yesterday. Not me, I'm lazy. Lyndon and Lesleigh walked up right behind us. Turns out it was Danny Domingo running with the Box's. Haha. I should've gone home right then with that compliment. I was confused for a pro triathlete by my swimming coach. He must've assumed that my swim is so bad, I must be a really good runner. Not that good.
This morning's warm-up was a pedestrian 500 warm-up. I got a late start and only put in 300.
Then it was time for 20x50 broken into 4 groups of 5x50. I started the 1st group on the 1:05, went to 1:00 and tried to do the third set pn the :55. I only did 1 in the last group before it was on to the next set, so I ended up with 16x50.
The next set was 2000 pull as 20x100, again broken into 4 groups. The 1st and 3rd were to be tempo swims with 10 seconds rest between 100s, the 3rd and 4th were to focus on speed with 20 seconds rest between 100s. I used paddles for the 2nd group and felt like I was flying. I tried to work on my flip turns as well, but as usual they were a disaster. I ended up in another lane on one occassion. I need to practice those some more.
We wrapped up practice with 20x50 kick on the 1:00. Kick is feeling strong, I just need to use it more while swimming.
Total yardage was 3900 yards. Good start to the week that is going to culminate with the Marine Corps 1/2 Marathon on Saturday morning.
