Event 1 Men 45-49 400 Yard IM

I Did not know the heats were mixed & seated fastest to slowest.
I thought I had 30 min before my race then suddenly found out I had 4 minutes to get my new suit on & show up at the blocks.
I was tying my suit & putting on my cap as others in my heat were on the blocks.

2 Rasmussen, Anders M 49 Longhorn Aquatic 4:24.24
26.87 58.60 (31.73)
1:32.15 (33.55) 2:05.26 (33.11)
2:42.48 (37.22) 3:20.97 (38.49)
3:53.66 (32.69) 4:24.24 (30.58)

My swim was better than last year, but I kinda wussed out on BR & FR, never really turned on my kick till the last 25 & oh geez did it hurt. Sometime I need to 6 beat kick the whole last 100.
pretty sure if I was more warmed up or psyched I can go faster. On BR I tried a low stroke count with more gliding.

I got 2nd, Congrats to Ross Davis, 46 Woodlands Master Who won with a 4:20.00
26.96 57.36 (30.40)
1:29.59 (32.23) 2:01.57 (31.98)
2:38.54 (36.97) 3:17.10 (38.56)
3:48.94 (31.84) 4:20.00 (31.06

Also congrats to my training partner Jim Sauer who almost broke Mike Manns 55 - 59 NR
4:28.69 4/10/2010 MICHAEL MANN
Mike raced in a faster suit.

3:58.58 (31.54) 4:29.05 (30.47)

For some odd reason I entered both the 400 IM & 1650
Was fairly certain I was going to scratch the 1650
But like a dumb a$$ I checked in & decided to swim it

So I got up to race

1 Rasmussen, Anders M 49 Longhorn Aquatic 18:19.13 20
29.74 1:01.63 (31.89)
1:34.43 (32.80) 2:07.95 (33.52)

16:09.05 (32.96) 16:41.97 (32.92) 5:30.63
17:14.77 (32.80) 17:47.38 (32.61) 18:19.13 (31.75)

I felt fairly fatigued from 4 IM & wanted to get out right away, from the pool not out fast on my race, I swam it safe & steady & picked it up some in the last 5.
I was in lane 5, David Alley was in lane 4 & went out in 5:11 at the 500, Dick Worrell was in lane 6, I was ahead of him at first then passed me & never caught him. I thought about sprinting the last 150 or 100 or 50 but didn't.pretty sure I coulda gone much faster in either if I just picked one race.

It was a dumb double & a hard way to begin a 3 day meet.

Monday Dec 31st, 2012 400 KICK for Time
Tomorrow I will be a FINA 50!

Lately I've been preparing for the 400 Kick for Time
I showed up yesterday for Sunday practice and the pool was set up LCM, and the 400 Kick for time is SCY, so it was a no go. Showed up today for 5:30 am to 7:00 practice & the pool was still LCM, did most of the practice, then got out 15 minutes early, put on a B70 jammer & gave the 400 another shot,
my 1st 2 tries were 5:32 & 5:24,
today I went 5:08.11
050 33 0:33
100 37 1:10
150 39 1:49
200 39 2:28 1:18
250 40 3:08
300 40 3:48 1:20
350 40 4:28
400 40 5:08.11 1:20 2:40
went out a bit too hard but it didn't feel like it at the time
stuck with the NO STROKE RULE which I really wanted to break but didn't
wore a jammer

Don't have a team?
Consider registering with: Longhorn Masters / TXLA
especially if you ever swam for Longhorn Aquatics club or Masters, UT or if you are coming to the
2013 South Central SCY Zone Championships
April 5, 6 & 7 in Austin at the UT swim Center and you want to do some relays

Swam: Sun, mainly worked on flutter kick with a board, doing fast 50's & 100's
Did not swim on Saturday

Today:
Whitney Coached
5:30 - 7:00 dove around 6:40
LCM UT Swim Center main pool
Swam with Todd (who hasn't swum in 10 days) & Marcio (who's swum 3 times in the past 2 months) I was very impressed with how they hung in there and did the practice.
Trained beside David, Larry, Sharon, & Gull


Warm up
assigned 800
dove in late, did 3 or 400

Main Set

8 x 150 FR LCM
2 on 2:15
2 on 2:10
2 on 2:05
2 on 2:00
Made em leading the lane

assigned 800
did 6 x 100 K

We did 8 x150 same as above but PULL
Todd went 1st, he's faster when he has oars,
made em all again, held 1:55's & 6's, 1:52 on last one
drafting was much easier than leading

ASSIGNED: another 800 but I got out to prepare for my 400 kick

thanking about doubling

Sat Aug 20th, 2011

Just swam a Postal 10k

I felt I was in pretty good shape this summer with all the doubles I've done. Larry and a few of the swimmers on Longhorn wanted to do the postal 5k's & 10ks. So a while back I looked at the distance records
The NR for M45-49 was
10K Postal James Stewart 2004 2:13:47.24
so I did the math, that time is averaging 1:20.27 per 100. I thought I might be able to go faster. So a few weeks ago I decided to give it a shot. I picked up my training, did several doubles then rested Th & Fr. I shaved & even shaved my head, plus asked the swim center to drop to pool temp a few degrees. they usually keep it around 80 and think it was 76 or 77 on Sat.


Today I went 2:13:43.48! & barely broke the NR in my age group.

I spent around 2 minutes & 30 seconds on breaks.

I dove in at 7:00 am and swam long smooth and easy. I went 5100 before taking my first break at around 65 minutes, in hind sight, I swam the 1st 5k too hard and waited to long before taking my first break to hydrade and fuel up. I rested around 30 seconds then took off attempting to do 400's on 5:20, think I made 2 or 3 then fell off the pace.

I tried to stay steady and stay on pace but felt pretty certain I started off too strong. I started struggling around 7k, Thinking, I swam a really good 5k, why not get out and be done?
Around 9k I started getting calf cramps.
That last 1k really hurt and my last 100 was horrible. I kept my eye on the clock the whole way, knew I was close, and sloppily sprinted my last 25 touching the wall in 2 hours 13 minutes & 43 seconds, just under the record.

When I finished I was truly exhausted.
I hugged the wall for around 5 minutes.
Swam an easy 100.
hugged the wall longer.
Swam another easy 100.
Around 15 minutes later I crawled out of the pool, feeling exhausted and sore. My calves kept cramping, I could barely walk. So I sat down. Ed brought me a my vitamin water and a gu, Whitney gave me a powdered drink. I felt so terrible and for a while thought I needed to go the the hospital but after 45 minutes felt a little better. I needed to get home, we were driving my daughter to to Lubbock. I thought I'd get home by 10 but really underestimated how awful I'd feel after the swim.

I felt terrible, was exhausted, sweating & shaking, my calves and biceps started cramping at 9k and were still cramping hrs later. My calves hurt Saturday, Sunday & Monday. I forgot to shave my face before the swim and my stubble tore up the skin on my right delt. I had blister on base on my left index finger where my thumb kept hitting it. My left bicep had a rub spot from streamlining against my stubbly head.

I was thrilled to break the 10k record, especially since I also broke a 50 free record in Mens 45 - 49. I'm not a D man. The 10k was a crazy diversion for me, a personal challenge, and at this point, I am done with D and back to training for 50s to 400s.

Looking back, I'd:
1) shave my face just before the swim,
2) start out at an easier pace
3) take my first break sooner & then follow a preplanned schedule, like:
Maybe at 2.5, 3, or 4k then every 1k after that and
4) figure out what the ideal liquids and fuel are.

10k is a loooooong way and I doubt I'll do another one anytime soon.

happy with my split
we were pretty far behind when I dove in
the pool was super wavy,
turn was challenging, race started in the late afternoon the far end was in the shade so the wall was darker than mid pool

hoped to watch more races and talk with more friends but opted to lay low and rest for events

FAST bk to Br turn

BR work it, great push offs, streamlines & pull outs, fast insweep & thrust, great kick and long streamline glides after each kick

HR Postal Swim take 2
last week I went 5,130 in my 1 hr postal swim
I felt like I went out too hard, inconsistent
I over heated
wore an old FS Pro
stopped too often and too long
swam in a lane where I couldn't see the pace clock
didn't shave and
started 2 minutes after the main group

Today I wanted to take another crack at it so see if I could improve
here's some of the corrections I attempted:
went out easier, stay steady,& no stopping
wore a new FS pro
shaved
swam in a lane where I could see the pace clock
asked my counter to signal each 500 &
even wore my goggle straps over the top of my ears &
don't over heat

my counter Beth Rasmussen used tyler blessings new hour swim Iphone app.
it's really cool

warm up
swam easy 50's on 45 for 8 minutes
got out with 2 minutes to go
cleaned my gogs and got ready
my goal was to do 10 x 500 on 5:40

here's how it went

0500 05:37

1000 11:13 5:36

1500 16:48 5:35

4500 50:18 5:30

5000 55:46 5:28 10:58

Saw many AZ friends, RJ was very nice well run meet, Thanks Katy! Sunday was a bit windy and rainy. Discovered the diving well was around 90 degrees which made life quite comfortable
