The FAF AFAP Digest

Saturday:

Took Saturday off as usual. I was pretty booked anyway as Lil Fort had a soccer game and Teen Fort had finals of HS district champs. She swam well in her evil events and advanced to regionals next weekend. The state cut for 100 evil here is a 1:07, seems really fast to me. I've seen D1 breaststrokers swimming that time in dual meets.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Did I add that up correctly? I was in the pool for a long time, but 4700 is still rather a lot of yardage for me. All the shooters -- 40 total -- meant the workout had an aerobic component. And doing those shooters on :30 was a bear after the hard efforts.

Off to the gym today! May do a shorter swim after.
