First time in the water for the new year since I had to miss tuesday's practice to work on the Church budget. Got away from work late
New Territory 25 yds Coach Dana
500 warm up - missed it
3 x 2 x 50 - swam 200 warmup
Lactic Acid set
6 x 100 free all out on 6 minutes
# 1 - 1:04 felt good- strong push offs, fast kick
breathing every 4th
#2 - 1:06 Quads not as strong
#3 - 1:09 Kick is dying bad turn
#4 - 1:11 Kick, what kick
#5 - 1:11 Down to two beat kick after the walls, move to breathing every stroke
#6 - 1:15 Dead man swimming
150 warm down. Switching ice packs from shoulders to knees and back. Two tylenol pm and fall into bed.
I was happy with the 1:04 and the 1:06. Fat man has not been back in the pool that longer or regular. Not competitive times and the intervals pale to what gets posted in other blogs, but then again - I never swam the 100 free competitively after high school, my fly was faster.
