This was my first day in 2 weeks that I was not on-call at my job. I did a straight 1 hour swim SCY and was able to do 3900 averaging 1:32's. Finished with a 100 kick and a 200 EASY swim. Probably not enough but that was all the time I had.

Friday I am going to do LCM and see how far I can get.

Total 4200 yards.

It is always good to have a good set even when your not 100%.

I have been swimming just not blogging my workouts last week. Last day using paddles was Friday. Now I am paddleless until my swim. I have one more week of on-call which means this week is sets of 500 so I can check my pager frequently enough. I know this really bites for a distance swimmer.

Today was the last day I could do a long swim for 2 weeks since I go on-call today. But since I really didn't feel well I decided to go with my body and take it easy.

Next week I go on call which means today and Monday are my last times to do some long swims before I have to check my pager ever 15 minutes. I'll be on call for 2 weeks. Not looking forward to it.

Today I did really well with this even with setting my heart rate up a little to high on the last 1000. With having to do open turns and slower swimming for 4 laps my last swim was still faster than my first 3.

4x1000@17:00 free #1 was 15:55, #2 was 15:37, #3 was 15:17 and #4 was 15:10
