    Days Till SC Zones

    Yesterday at noon practice, I attempted the hour swim, but I swam a hard on both Tue and Wed mornings, which proved to be a bad idea. We dove in at 12:05 & I swam 3000, but felt like I was on the verge of cramps & I started getting hot so I decided to end my attempt & maybe try again on Sunday, or not.

    Today I didn't set my alarm and woke up at 5:55, which is late, I need to leave my house by 5:45 to get to 6:30 practice with good traffic. But I hit the road to do whatever I could, & encountered much more traffic than normal which delayed my arrival.

    Whitney Coached
    6:30 - 8:00 dove in around 6:55ish
    SCY UT Swim Center main pool
    Swam with Tyler and Colin O'Brady ( he's new to our group, a pro triathlete who swam for Yale)

    2 x 100 fr on 2:00 98%
    50 easy
    100 fr Fast for time
    50 easy
    then swim for 8:00 neg split
    (in round 1, I missed the 4 x 100 fr & the 50 easy, started with the 3 x 100's )
    I built into this

    went 54 from a push on the last one in round 2

    skipped stuff on the 8:00 swims

    4 x 50 free no interval
    1) 3 breaths, 2) 2 breaths, 3) 1 breath, 4) no breath

    Fri Oct 26th, 2012

    SCM meet is in 35 days, 5 weeks

    Yesterday I came back at noon, decided to rest more before my fast 2 & 1 free
    went 1:57 & 54
    Last night I went to see Madonna in Houston, 160 miles from my home, I was warned the concert start time says 8:00, she took the stage at 10:45 and a DJ played before that.
    It was a quite spectacle, the most elaborate stage set up I've ever seen, everything choreographed, pretty sure she lip synched or was autotuned, but it was very entertaining and she is a remarkably fit 53 year old woman.
    We found her set list online and decided to leave with a few songs left so we wouldn't get stuck in the parking garage which might have added 45 min to an hour more to our travel time. We left around 12:40 and didn't get home till 3:00 am, I slept a little then I woke up at 5:00 am to make todays 6:00 am fast friday practice. So I'm a bit fried and sleep deprived.

    also this morning I drove in on an alternate route, a new section of toll road 130 just opened near my home so I decided to try it while it's free till Nov 11th. 130 is making national news because there's stretches of it where the posted legal speed limit is 85. it's longer and wasn't faster than my usual way but its the fastest way for me to get to the airport or to by pass austin during high traffic hours when I'm headed north or stay off IH 35 when I'm headed south to san antonio. Plus it's just different and kinda fun to legally drive 85.


    Whitney coached
    SCY UT Swim Center main pool,
    Pool was set up with both bulkheads down and in the middle which means, 2 eight lane short course pools. We swam in the north end
    6:00 7:30
    Swam with Mike, Jim, Marcio, & Chris
    Beside Keith, Chris, Jeff Larry & Brad Baily made his 2nd appearance this week.


    Warm up
    assigned 1000
    did 800 ish

    Main Set

    500 for time
    went 5:23, swam with marcio while jim and chris swam in the next heat

    200 IM for time

    Chris did a 2 fr in 1:47

  14. ZONES Day 1 Sat Aug 11 2012

    ZONES Day 1 Sat Aug 11 2012

    http://legacy.alamo.edu/pac/ict/aquatic-center/aug-10-12/

    I was entered in the 400 IM last night & opted to skip it & just stay home

    I entered the 400 FR thinking I'd do a 50 or 100 split request. Then found out the touch pads at the far end weren't hooked up. So I got up and swam the 400 Fr, did 350 easy speed, 2 beat kick then 6 beat kicked the last 50
    67.54
    72.79 2:20.33
    73.76 3:34.09
    67.81 4:41.90 2:21.57

    50 BR 34.57
    Went a little faster than Omaha

    Was entered in the 1 fr & skipped it

    50 BK 29.02
    Yes! Very happy with that
    I went 29.50 at Nats so that's a big improvement

    Looking back I was dumb to swim the 4 free & 50 BR, because my priority was the 50 BK & 100 BK relay lead off on the 4 x 100 medley with

    BK me, 49
    65.49
    Whitney said my splits were
    31.8 33.6

    BR David Guthrie 52
    1:09.64 2:15.13

    FL Jim Sauer, 55
    1:02.37 3:17.50

    FR Mike Varozza, 45
    56.26 4:13.76

    Honestly wasn't happy with my time & felt I could have gone faster, but it was my 4th swim of the day. I should have prioritized & skipped the 4 FR & 50 BR. The pool was warm around 85 degrees & the air on deck was in the 90s, doors we opened at each end of the pool
    But we did break the 200+ men's 4 x 100 WR which was 4:27.93 so we're all pretty psyched about that.


    Tomorrow I've entered the::

    800 fr (in case I wanted to do a split request)
    50 FR
    200 IM
    50 FL & we have the
    4 x 100 fr relay with David, Mike, & Jim
    The WR is 3:54.63

    Right now I plan on skipping the 8 fr & 2IM
    To rest up for the relay, but the FL is right before it
