Well I pulled an Ande today arriving at the pool late. We have switched pools for the short course season and locations are somewhat flexible. I have not been with this current group long, and went to the wrong pool. Got there 5 minutes early, waited, called, and finally decided to drive through the subdivision and found the correct pool. Noticed a Scout meeting going on in the community center and stepped in to let the leaders know about the cancellation of an event next weekend. The camp was damaged during the storm and I have somewhere between 150 to 200 participants and staff to notify. Thank goodness that the leaders have been willing to make calls to the youth in their areas. Got in at the end of a drill set. 12 x 50 drill/free 4 x 4x 25 (1-3 drill, 4 fly) 8 x 50 SKD down, free back 4 x 100 (25 rotating fly 75 free) 2 x 25 SKD Sprint 100 warm down Now icing & waiting for the anti-inflamatory to kick in.
swim club looks like its gonna be pretty fun. We actually had a very good turnout and they were like disappointed! I was like WTF this is a bigger "team" than my college team! We only swam for about an hour: 300swim 200kick 3x3x100: @1:25 with 2:00 inbetween each set of 3 6x25 breast pull-outs 4x25 long and ez very nice. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow after all that...sheesh
It has been a little over a week since I have been in the water. Last Saturday (9/6) then it was off to West Virginia and no pools. Spent my free time communicating the cancellation of a Scouting event. Got back to Houston in time to batten down the hatches. Fortunately for us we were on the clean side of the eye. We lost power for <24 hours, and only had minimal damage. Other friends had tornadoes to deal with and are still without power. Today was the first day back in the office and tonight will be the first workout.
So...I've taken a 6.5month hiatus due to health issues and an overall aversion to the system (aka coach)...but now I am in Baltimore, MD in graduate school and wanted to get back into it. I'm hoping to go to the GMU Sprint Classic at the end of October as my first meet back into it...that doesn't give me too much time...but I also will not expect to do great things there...and personally I don't think it takes to much training to do a 50free or 50fly. So today was my second day at the gym. I went Saturday as well and ran, biked and lifted. September 16th 2008: 830am: ran 2miles on treadmill broken up with .25fast walking @1.5incline for a total of 3miles. 9:15am: lifted using cybermax weight systems: chest press, tricep press, arm curl, lat pull downs and a few others. 9:45am: Swim: 25scy Loyola pool. Swam alone. 400swim 600pull 3x200 kick @4:30 #1,3 with board #2 w/o 200 DPS 16x50 #1-8 w/ paddles #9-16 swim w/o 200 DPS @.45 16x50 kick Odds=free @1:00, Evens to 8=25 breast, 25free @1:10 Evens 10-16= under water dolphin kick 200 DPS 4x100 IM, #s 3-4 reverse im @ 2:00 (held 1:18) 200 warm down for a total of 4,400 yards on my first day back. Then when I got out and into the hottub a woman approached me and asked me if I was gonna be doing the club team which I said yes. Turns out, that starts tonight...so 7-9 I have another pool workout. Tomorrow is gonna be tough!
