So…will I go backstroke? February 1, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentHad another usual day at school, came home around 4:25pm. I guess today is the first time I ever did what I said the day before. It's all because it was easier than usual. I set my road bike on the trainer, studied and went for a swim.
Bike setting: I was so shocked after Sunday's ride. I just couldn't believe that I wasn't able to stick with the group. Well, I wouldn't be so suprised if it was 80km or so but 60km…So, I changed a few settings on my bike. First I worked on the aero bars, just fixed them straight because it was a bit crooked. Then, saddle height. Pulled it up 2cm and we'll see how things go tomorrow.
The swim: 1900m total, speed training. I'm still in need of motivation. 400m warm up, 200m*4(swim, kick, pull, swim) 4:30, 25*4(12.5m hard, 12.5m easy, 12.5m easy, 12.5m hard, 25m*2 sprint) 0:40, 2sets. Then, 50*8 sprints(2:30), 100m cool down. After the swim, I talked to the fast guy(who goes to the same highschool as me) about the relay, asked him if it was for real and what was I expecting, ofcourse it's for real. The three other guys are fast with everything but backstroke. It seems like I'm gonna have to go backstoke….You know what? I still drown once in a while when I swim backstroke, hehe.
Tomorrow: First ride on the trainer, study and out for the swim I go. Wednesdays feel sooo easy after I started swimming with the "big guys." Two weeks till the FINAL exam for the term!!! I've got a plan for these two weeks, hope it works well.
