Fast Food Makes for Fast Swimming!

I was tired today, mostly from work. I think after today I was around 51 hours or so, plus another 8-10 hours tomorrow as well. Paycheck is decent, but I'm worn out. Swimming is just a luxury this summer for me, and I'm making the most of it.

=================================

One more week until my 1500 LCM & others in the local USAS meet. Also, a few days ago I also signed up for the USAS LSC Champs meet in Spokane at the end of July. Of course, I'm only signed up for Sunday due to my work schedule, and had to pick the events available to me: 100 Free, 100 Fly, 1500 Free (not 200 Back).
My gosh, I've got two 1500s LCM this summer, and two OW swims! What did I do to myself. Oh well, I'm not training too serious, and am putting no pressure on myself. Just having fun this summer...and happy I can actually swim.


Oh...and in other news...I followed Lochte's advice and had a "home cooked meal" (and no fast food) for dinner after practice.
A can a Progresso Hearty Chicken w/ Noodles soup, corn on the cob, and some gatorade.
I can already feel myself making the OTs in 4 years. ...or at least craving McDonalds or something better in a couple hours.

    Good for you! Those last 5 probably hurt.

    Personally I loved Ryan's comments on getting a good "home cooked meal" - my son is very friendly w/him, as he swam for his Dad, Steve - and really looks up to Ryan. I told him - if Ryan thinks he can improve HIS swimming by tweaking his nutrition, maybe it wouldn't hurt you! (You Dr.Pepper Monster you!)

    I could maybe try a little...but just a little.
