Fast Food Makes for Fast Swimming!

I figured that since there isn't any practice tonight or tomorrow morning with the meet going on, that I'd get in a short swim tonight at lap swim prior to my meet performances on Sunday.

Figured out a couple things tonight:

1. I now like practicing in a group setting - Y lap swims are boring
2. Solo workouts are too easy to back out of stuff when it gets tough, or you're tired.
3. See #2 above
4. Must eat better during the day
5. I still can't seem to make myself get past 3000 on my own

Warmup:

300 Free
200 Kick w/ board
400 Free Pull
100 Free
(1000/1000)

10 x 50 Kick w/ board @ 1:00 nothing stressful, just make 'em
(500/1500)

Main Set: I got this idea from tjrpatt's blog the other day, though I shortened it in half 'cause I could.

6 x 200 Free @ 3:00 broken at the 100s as:

• 100 @ 1:10/100 @ 1:50
• 100 @ 1:20/100 @ 1:40
• 100 @ 1:30/100 @ 1:30
• 100 @ 1:40/100 @ 1:20
• 100 @ 1:50/100 @ 1:10
• 100 @ 2:00/100 @ 1:00

I did a 1:05 on the initial 100 @ 1:10, then just cruised the rest of the set. The final 1:10 interval I did a 1:04, then did a 1:00 on the final 100 @ 1:00. It's a good set, though I'm sure much better with a group, and with the :05 interval changes as well for a good 2400 set.

(1200/2700)

My muscles are sore from the week of swimming plus my work at work as well. It's just a regular old USAS meet this weekend, and I'll just give it my best. At least I'm doing fun events (fun for me). 200 Fly, 200 Back, 200 Free.
