I got back from California late last night and did not get to bed until after midnight. When my alarm went off after about 4 hrs of sleep I was feeling pretty awful. I ate and then went to the pool. I did not feel too bad in the warmup but when I started to push the main set I was very tired. Despite this I worked as hard as I could and ended up with a pretty good workout. I felt much better today even without the sleep than I did the past two days.
Warm up
400 free with snorkel
6x50 catchup on 45
main sets
6x(100 swim on 1.10, 50 kick on 50)
10x100 best average on 2mins
200 easy
6x100 kick on 1.45
warm down
100 easy
total 3500scy
i swam the first main set aerobically and swam the 100s on 1.02 and the 50s kick on 42s. The best average set was very tough today and I held mainly 56s except the first 3 where I was 55s. The kick I used somewhat as a recovery holding 1.27s.
Today I had to travel to west Texas and I will be swimming in an outdoor short hotel pool tomorrow and Friday. I brought bungee cords with me so worst case I can use these as resistance swimming based on time.
I also found out this morning that my coach entered me in all the free events from the 50 to the 1500 and the 200 back in this weekends USAS meet. I was expecting to swim the 50 to the 800 free and was not expecting the mile and the 200 back. This will be a good bench mark on where I am with training for worlds but I am guessing I will be pretty tired by Sunday night.
