Haven't had a nice swim in a long time January 12, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentI had the usual dull day at school just sitting around taking notes and listening to what the teacher had to say. It's fun listening to the Modern Literature teacher because she has this one whole world of her own made up and she talks like a philosopher, interesting. Other than that is just boring.
Today's swim: I didn't have the knee pain anymore so I decided to go with my mtb. I've been having pretty bad swims nowadays and had a really hard time trying to swim 100m intervals with 2min cycles. Today was different, I was swimming 200m in 3min30sec and I was like, "wow, when's the last time I did that that easy?" I think it had to do something with the Saturday swim. My coach fixed my form a bit and now I could push more with my left hand. But does that make me 15sec faster on every 100m? I was actually told to slow down while we were having form practice, I noticed I was finishing every interval waaay faster than usual. My coach told me that my fastest 100m lap for today was 1min43sec which happened during the 200m intervals. Did about 2200m total and my arms aren't tired at all plus my legs feel just fine, maybe I should get back to running tomorrow.
Tomorrow: I'll check on my legs and see whether or not to run. I'll start studying kanjis for the kanji proficiency test kinda thingy that's coming up in early February. I always thought I'm pretty good at kanjis but after looking at the text, I was like, "uhhhh, what's this?" Now I've gotta study. Then another swim will come at night. Have a good night's sleep and take care!!!
