After a busy weekend of work and then activities at church, I was happy to get out of work early today and rest a bit at home before a swim this evening. The pool was a bit crowded so I was not able to get in what I had planned, but I was able to do ...

200 Fr/200 IM drill
200 kick

2 x
- 4 x (3 x 25 on traffic:, as sprint, sprint, easy, the 2 fast IMO)
- 200 Pull with buoy fast

200 loosen and out
(Solo/Rec/1800 yds/40 min)
--------------------------------

I was able to get a 2 mile jog in on Saturday night, and I have been a little sore from the open water adventures last week. I'm looking forward to the Baystate Games this coming weekend at Springfield College in Mass. I am signed up for just Saturday, doing:
400 Free
400 IM
100 Back
50 Free

Out to be an interesting day, befitting my first ever LCM meet. I haven't been very consistent with training over the past few months (and haven't been in a long course pool since last summer), but I am looking forward to the challenge of LCM! The 400 free swims around noon, and then the rest of the meet starts at 4:30 - I plan to use the 400 IM as an extended cooldown/warmup before the 100 back.

Edit: found the psyche sheets here.

Good luck at your meet. Swim fast and have fun.

my first ever LCM meet.

First ever, man you have been deprived! There is nothing like racing in LCM. Of course, I hate turns. The less walls, the better in my book.

Yea I like LCM meets too, prefer swimming LCM whenever I can. I also hate turns.

The 400 should be a great event for you. Good luck!

Faith Lane

"The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts."
- A. W. Tozer

"Remember God's timing is not our timing and that whenever we try to rush that plan, we will have to bear the consequences of our impatience."
- Pastor Frank Brown (True during a taper!)

�God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work.
Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.�
- A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

"We have to be continually reminded of what we #believe. No belief will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed."
- C.S. Lewis

Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)
Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

Let me paraphrase Eric Liddell from Chariots of Fire: "I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I swim I feel His pleasure." -- I am certainly not the fastest, but I do feel that when I swim I am using a talent that He gave to me.

"I need some time with God and a mental vacation."
- TobyMac

‎"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have."
- Source unknown

Romans 5:8 (KJV)
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

"The grace of God is infinite and beyond our ability to measure. His grace has no beginning and therefore no end."
- A.W. Tozer

Set Descriptions

Sometimes I do not know what I am talking about in these blogs, so you might find out here:

Noah's Ark:
500 continuous swim where:
25 DPS/25 Fast, 50/50, 75/75, 100/100
(I usually do the 75 pair as Backstroke, the rest as Freestyle)

Quarters Strong:
Swim a fast quarter length, starting with the last 1/4, then shuffling the quarter to the beginning. For a 50, these would be 12.5; for a 100, these would be 25.

Dolphin Dives in the Shallows
I've seen Mallory Mead list the DDS before in her OW workout thread before: swim to the flags, go under water, skd then turn at wall, skd out past flags.

Mighty Mouse kicks
Mighty Mouse is a variation of the corkscrew drill from Pat's blog that I do while kicking - right arm in front while rotating from back to stomach every 5 or so seconds, in the opposite direction on the second lap -- left arm in front the next time.

Shark Swim
Hold a kickboard between legs and pull 25, then kick FAST 25. Usually the pull is a recovery from the kick.

Build a 200 IM
5 x 200, usually on 2:50, where
- 50 Stoke Fast IMO right into 150 DPS Free
- 5th 200 = 200 IM for time
