Managed to wake up early for the 5:30am lap swim...and found that none of my normal lap swim partners were there today. Luckily after nearly finishing my warmup, Pat showed up so I had a swim buddy...making the workout manageable.

3x (100 Free/100 Back)
(600 warmup)

4 x 300 Free Pull w/ paddles @ 4:00 (Pat did 250s on same interval)
went 3:28/3:24/3:19/3:14...feeling great too
50 ez
4 x 200 Free Pull w/ paddles @ 2:30 (Pat did 150s on same interval)
went 2:10/2:13/2:13/2:12
--had to decrease my pace interval down a bit so Pat wouldn't get too bored waiting for me...and made me work too It's good for me, but haven't done a 1:15/100 interval in a while
50 EZ
(2100/2700)

12 x 100 Free Pull w paddles @ 1:30
I just cruised these...and it almost felt like a cooldown set after the previous ones
(1200/3900)

It was at this point that my other regular training partner Jake showed up...about an hour late to the party. But...it gave me an excuse to train with him too. **Normally that would be the end of our swim...and even a little more yardage than normal...BUT...

300 Free cruise "warmup" during Jake's warmup
(300/4200)

12 x 150 Free swim - no toys @ 2:20 (Jake was doing kick on 4th length...he also swims with zoomers on to "keep up")
I held them around 1:45-1:49s with minimal effort...just cruising and extending the workout.
(1800/6000)

100 cooldown

-----------------------
6100 Yards...surprised the heck out of me...especially for only being on about 4 hours sleep after working last night til 11


And off to refuel at McD's....and maybe a nap before work this afternoon...but I doubt the nap will happen...kids home from school today.

    3:19 on 300 pull. Ah, you are actually in shape! A good day is if I can hold 3:40. 6100 today, nice!

    Nice work James! Now I kinda wish I hadn't cut practice short today. I swam with my daughter. (Her team has no practice today because the school where they train is closed.) She did 6100, but I stopped at 4900 because I want to be careful with my shoulder. It was the right thing to do, but when I see folks here posting that they put in a big one, it makes me wish I had too. Your workout had too much freestyle though, we did almost no free - lots of back, breast and kicking.

    It's good to see you blogging again.

    You're definitely in shape if you can bust out 6,100. Nice.

    Thanks guys...and a few hours (or so it seemed) later, I was heading to work...where I got to change out a 15HP motor on the fruit drying tunnel...so much fun after having a sore tired body. I wanted to just coast through the night. But, at least now, I'm on my "weekend" days.
