Is this what I went for? January 20, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackTerrible day today. Well, maybe I'm just making it sound bad. I had a nice day at school(just the usual day) and we finished early, just around noon. The forecast predicted rain but just like every other day, they got it wrong and it was a nice sunny day. The problem was that my nose was running all day long and I just couldn't go out for a ride, atleast until I did something with my little faucet. But, I really wanted to go for a swim because I'm finally catching up with everything. So, I decided to rest in the afternoon and go to for a swim at night, which absolutely went fine. Took some medicine, drank some water, slept for 2hours and my runny nose was gone!!! Great news, I was ready for a swim although I was gonna get out of the pool early because I didn't wanna push myself too hard and get the cold tomorrow too.
The swim: You know what? I only swam 550m. 200m warm up, 50*7 kick sprints. Then the coach was all angry and stuff because we weren't able to go to the next set, the pull, on time. At first, I didn't know what the hel* was going on because I'm a slow kicker (I really tried) and I was the last person to start. The coach told us to get out of the pool. Now, at this point, I was thinking we're gonna do some sprints but then he said we're done for the day. So, I put the kickboards away and the coach started off with the scolding whatever with the other kids. I was like, 'huh?' and thought I should get back to hear what the coach needed to say. What did he say? Well, the guys I swim with are having a race this weekend and I guess the coach didn't like the way they acted, not taking the swims serious enough, I guess. At this point, I was just standing in line listening to the rest of his speech and he said, "go home." The other guys didn't seem like they wanted to go home but I wasn't gonna waste my time just standing by the pool with the "please coach, let us swim" look on my face. So, I was the first one out, walked home like nothing happened, met some friends on the way and talked with them a bit. See, I could've gone for a ride and take a break from swimming but no, I decided to do it the other way around. REALLY wasted a valuable sunny day for a bummer swim. I felt like taking the rest of the month off. Ofcourse the coach doesn't know what I went through today but still, not letting us swim?? I don't understand, or maybe just don't want to… One of "those" days. c'mon, me, I aint gonna take the whole month off, people get angry, I don't know what the coach went through these days, maybe he had a bummer day too. But here's one thing, I really wanted that ride…hehe.
Tomorrow: Since I slept a lot today, I think I'll wake up early and go for a run, if I have the time, a ride and then a run after school. Then, a swim. But speed training just doesn't fulfill my shoulder's needs, they wanna move more, I guess.
