Well, not that I was *trying* to do it today, but I finally met my goal of doing a 3000 in the 45 minutes allowed in the mornings… I had been planning out my practices prior to the morning swims but recently, due to me being lazy and not much impressed with my creativity beforehand, I have gone with a spur of the moment type approach. I’ll probably go back to writing them out ahead of time again soon but for now this is working for me.
Anyway, I got in the pool a few minutes late and had to rush my warmup a bit but I made it through before 7AM. Afterward I was feeling pretty good so I went ahead with an ambitious (for now) set that I was quite happy with when it was all said and done.
I can certainly feel the strength in my out of the pool activities (hiking 15+ miles with Chuck on Saturday) plus climbing the stairs in Minnehaha Falls Park in Minneapolis with Kim yesterday. Woot.
200 S/K/P 600 16x100 FR (every 4th IM D) 1:30 1600 6 x 100 FR P 1:30 600 1 x 200 WD 200 3000
I held all the 100s FR under 1:10 and while the IM drills were having me come in on 1:25 it was more of a restful swim for those than anything else. I was *very* pleased with that set and continued to feel strong into the pull. Woot.
On a slightly related note, I got an e-mail from a lady interested in knowing where I swim in Apple Valley. For those of you watching along at home, you can check out District 196’s Community Education programs here.
