    I had fun at nats but was disappointed with my times.
    A friend said you were in no mans land
    You didn't have speed and you didn't have endurance.
    I'm going to work on speed and strength for a while.

    Mon Aug 18th 2014

    I've been an awful blogger.

    I was all set to go to Nats.
    entered the meet, got my flights, hotel, and rent car.
    I made it all the way to the airport gate for a 5:45 am flight. My plane was loading and we had a family emergency, so I cancelled my flight then turned around an went home. I was bummed. I really wanted to swim and see my swim friends.

    I followed the meet from home. My training partner Jim Sauer, 57 tore it up.
    he swam great in his 2 & 4 IMs, 1 fly, 2bk and had a OK 2 FLY, he reminded himself if you go too hard on your 1st 2 50's in the 2 LCM fly your next 2 50's could be difficult.

    I swam last Wed, just an easy taper work out on my own & didn't swim Thu - Sun.
    My team was on break.

    Trained this morning at Mabel Davis with Dakota, Julie, Tyler & Korey.

    Warm up was 3 x 200, done 150 fr, 50 k, skipped the middle 200

    20 x 50 fr on 1:00
    odds 400 pace
    evens 1500 pace

    5 x 150 k on 3:00

    assigned: 3 x 400
    did: parts of it

    Days Till SC Zones

    Yesterday at noon practice, I attempted the hour swim, but I swam a hard on both Tue and Wed mornings, which proved to be a bad idea. We dove in at 12:05 & I swam 3000, but felt like I was on the verge of cramps & I started getting hot so I decided to end my attempt & maybe try again on Sunday, or not.

    Today I didn't set my alarm and woke up at 5:55, which is late, I need to leave my house by 5:45 to get to 6:30 practice with good traffic. But I hit the road to do whatever I could, & encountered much more traffic than normal which delayed my arrival.

    Whitney Coached
    6:30 - 8:00 dove in around 6:55ish
    SCY UT Swim Center main pool
    Swam with Tyler and Colin O'Brady ( he's new to our group, a pro triathlete who swam for Yale)
    beside Brandon, Amy & Pat Evoe

    Warm up
    missed it

    Main Set

    2 rounds of
    4 x 100 fr on 2:00 92%
    50 easy
    3 x 100 fr on 2:00 95%
    50 easy
    2 x 100 fr on 2:00 98%
    50 easy
    100 fr Fast for time
    50 easy
    then swim for 8:00 neg split
    (in round 1, I missed the 4 x 100 fr & the 50 easy, started with the 3 x 100's )
    I built into this

    went 54 from a push on the last one in round 2

    skipped stuff on the 8:00 swims

    4 x 50 free no interval
    1) 3 breaths, 2) 2 breaths, 3) 1 breath, 4) no breath
    made em

    I really need to start weights and sprint training
