Swim Workouts

So Wednesday's are IM workouts which by itself is no problem. Today however I was whooped, two main sets and I hurt in both.

Warmup
400 free
6x50 catchup drill on 50
5x100 kick on 1.50

Main Set

2 x 400IM straight on 6.30, 4x50 stroke drill on 1min, 200 IM on 3.00. Despite feeling bad I got quite a lot of rest on the 400s and 200s. I worked on back and breast drills on 50s.

100 easy

Second main set
9x100 broken into sets of 3, 2x100 on 1.10 1x100 on 1.30, ranged from 1.05-1.10 and really hurt

Warm down
100 easy

3900 total

We discussed doing relays as well as individual events at Nationals. Just need to convince a few people and we will have men, woman and 2 mixed relays in Indy. Should be a bunch of fun!!!

After 20 years out i am finally feeling the water again. I started out at 6'5", 223lbs, 24.9 BMI and at the start of week 9 I am at 196lbs, 18.8 BMI.

I really enjoyed todays workout especially the main set.
