500 bk with fins 8:01 5 x 100 with fins as 50fr/50dr on 3 50 flutter kick in 0:50 50 ez fr Left shoulder felt little loose and aching from weights yesterday, so I got out Legs and back still sore from 1.5 mi run 3 days ago 1|13 Weights/drylands all parts except calves Sore from saturday’s 1.5 mi run 1|11 Did annual AF fit test 50 push-ups in 1 min 50 crunches in 1 min 1.5 mi in 12:12 (2017 did 10:32 with run training) score: 98 Very painful running hard without any running over 12 months except occasional 50 second treadmill warmups. If my hips didn’t bother me I would actually train for it. I started out way too fast because one of the runners was completing his run in a sprint/walk fashion. I was not aware of that, and having no sense of pace from lack of running, this guy just suddenly stops and starts walking, I soon realized I was borderline about to collapse and not even 15% of the way in to it.

Easy pace distance free, 2100m in 38 min. Swam 2-beat out and 6-beat back. Used snorkel. 1x100 fr moderate pace 300 bk with fins Swimming very aerobically lately. Saving my legs up for approaching weekend’s annual fitness test - 1.5 mile run is part of it. Probably ran less than 10 cumulative miles over entire year in preparation for it.

Two meets after 2.5 years off due to injury-surgery. Spent some time swimming in nature: couple weeks in Aruba, a couple in Hawaii, a few more local places, lakes, waterfall ponds, and once in a very cold Edisto river. About 90% of OW swimming was done with fins. Attaching images isn’t as easy as it used to be. Below: Aruba, Hanauama bay HI, Kahe point HI, and Edisto river in 57°F water (swimming < 2 minutes)

Went for a brief 55°F water swim in the Edisto river taking advantage of abnormally low water temperatures. The air was close to 70. I actually did two swims, but no longer than 1 min for each time ha ha. Anything under 82°F feels cold to me, but this wasn’t a cold sensation, it was a little more like pain.
