Wed Oct 19th, 2011 SCY It's unofficial! the 2011 USMS 10K Postal National Championship PRELIMINARY RESULTS are out and it looks like the swim I did on Sat Aug 20th, 2011 held up. Earlier this year I checked out the distance records The 10K Postal Records for Men's 40 - 44 was 2:03.06.33 Jim Barber 2003 50 - 54 was 2:05:55.37 Jim McConica 2004 but the 45 - 49 was 2:13:47.24 James Stewart 2004 So really that record ought to be much faster and I'm sure someone will come along and knock it way down where it belongs. First I did the math, ((133 x 60) + 47.24)/100 = 80.2724 I needed to Average 80.2724 sec per 100 or 1:20.27. I thought, I can hold 1:20's per 100, I do it all the time in practice. So during the summer I started training for longer events and did more doubles, even though my original plan was to return to sprinter. Attempting to go for the record was on my radar around June, I was kind of training for it, but had a week break in mid June. I didn't announce on my blog that I was even going to attempt a 10k till Tue Aug 16th 2011 when Whitney confirmed the pool time and arrangement. So I: + trained pretty hard and far, + rested a little, + shaved my body & head, + got the swim center to lower the pool temp to 76 or 7 (the skinny swimmers were shivering and not happy) & + wore a fairly new B70 jammer. I made a few errors in the swim: 1) forgot to shave my right cheek, my right cheek rubs on my right delt, (had a horrible rub spot at the end of the race) 2) started off too strong, it felt easy, 5k splits were 1:03:36.4 1:10:07.08 3) didn't stop to hydrate and fuel till 5100 4) then stopped too often and long in the 2nd 5k (spent around 3 minutes on the wall) especially in the last 1000 5) CRAMPS: had to deal with cramps on the last 1000 and 6) underestimated how awful it would feel and how exhausted I'd be after it. attempting to sprint / 6 beat kick the last 25 was bad idea. But now I'm one of the few swimmers who's broken a USMS: 50 free record (50 SCM fr in 2008 24.18) & a 10k record in the same age group. It also shows a lot of things can go wrong and the over all race can still be OK. Don't think I'll do another for a long while. ~ ~ ~ weighed 223 today after practice. Did 2 sets of 4 pull ups yesterday and I am sore today. Going to begin weights and get past the sore part.
