  1. Quick afternoon workout

    I enjoyed another nice solo swim at the Y today. I swam in the early afternoon and had a lane to myself for all be the first 800 or so of the following:

    1000 scy warmup (400s, 200k, 200p, 200d/s)

    Freestyle set
    100 @ 1:40, 50 @ :50
    100 @ 1:40, 50 @ :45
    100 @ 1:40, 50 @ :40
    100 @ 1:40, 50 @ :35
    100 @ 1:35, 50 @ :40
    100 @ 1:30, 50 @ :45
    100 @ 1:25, 50 @ :50
    100 @ 1:20, 50 @ :55
    100 @ 1:15, 50 @ 1:00
    100 @ 1:10, 50 @ 1:05 [missed on this 100—did a 1:10+]

    700 easy warmdown + play

    I enjoyed this set—it started out very gently, and by the time it got hard there was too much to do figuring out the sendoffs to fret about anything else. But it seemed a little short—I might double the 50s next time I do it, or palindrome it if I’m feeling bold.

    I’m feeling a little unsettled with my swimming these days—I vacillate between feeling happy to just be going to the pool and swimming for the fun of it and feeling dissatisfied because I don’t have something concrete to train for. In the short term, I need to decide whether I want to swim the Asphalt Green meet on December 9th. And in the long term, I need to start thinking about what things I want to do next spring and summer, and what I need to make them happen. Lots of possibilities out there--the difficulty will be choosing among them!
