Am I getting faster? January 19, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentWith the swim, I really think I am. I mean, swimming 5days a week and not getting any faster would just sound weird wouldn't it? Today, I went for an easy swim and a nice bike ride to the pool and back.
The swim: 1700m total, now this really felt easy after all that hard work at the "closer" swimming pool. I really need to name these pools, it's just hard to write which one I went to…Okay, the pool that I go 5days a week is, "P-com" short for pool communications and the other one is ocean swimming, hehe…no, we don't swim in the ocean… So, I went to ocean swimming and did some interval training as usual. 200m warm up, 300m forming (making the stream line, one hand swims etc…) and the rest was intervals. 50m*1(1:10), 100m*1(2:00), 150m*1(2:30). Did three sets of these.
Ride to the pool: I was annoyed by the cars that were parked on the sidewalk. Didn't really think about them until today because I almost ran over a guy who just came out of nowhere. Why did this happen? There was a car parked right in the middle of the sidewalk and I had to detour around it. Let's think about it, will it be my fault if I did run over this guy? Partially maybe but I think it's 90%(or even 100) the person who parked his/her car's fault. Why did this annoy me? Well, the car was parked in front of a convenience store that HAS a parking lot. So, the driver didn't bother to park at the parking lot but instead, he just parked right in front of the store. Really convenient, eh? How self-centered can people be? The convenience store being there is already convenient and yet the driver still begs for more convenience? What a lazyass moron…
Tomorrow: I get off school early but the forecast says rain, darn it!!! I'll go for a bike ride if it's cloudy and I think I'll go for a run even if it rains. After that, a killer Thursday swim (last week was a 4500m+ swim) to finish my day. I was really dead last week, the challenge continues…
