Wow, that girl's FAST!!! February 5, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentYesterday, I went for a run(unwillingly, hehe) and two swims. Today, nothing.
Yesterday's swim/run: Got to the pool at 7:30am and not many people were there. Yup, nobody comes after they're done with a race. Ran 6km, I don't know how long it took me but I did do it. Then I swam 2300m which was planned to be a 3200m swim. I wasn't expecting myself to get through the whole thing because it was made for the fast swimmers but I'm still a bit mortified. This one other girl was able to finish it, hehe. HEY!!! Atleast I ran faster:-) I guess I'll start my run earlier and be able to finish the "planned" swim next time.
Night swim: Swam a total of 3500m which was planned to be 3400m but the coach had me do some "on the spot??" sprints after I was done with the sprints I knew I was gonna do. I was a bit shocked because I swam my butt off like 30sec before the sprint started but my goal for this month was to get faster, so, I didn't really have a reason for not doing it. Amazingly, I wasn't knocked out after it…Does this mean I wasn't pushing enough? Absolutely, my fastest 25m was 19.00sec. Yes, I was tired after all that swimming but I could've gone faster. One of the girls went 16.7sec breast stroke, what did I do? Ummm, I just looked at her, smiled and laughed. After the swim, we had a tiny little meeting where the coach told me to swim 50m freestyle in 35sec by the end of March. I thought he was joking so I laughed but then he said, "don't worry, I'll get you there." Oh no…hey, wait, this month's goal was…
You know what? I think I'll start posting in the morning. I just can't get enough sleep when I post at night. Plus, my brain works much better that way. I really gotta run, 3weeks till the marathon and I'm not running at all. The biggest problem is that I still think I could finish it!!! Is that suppose to be good or bad??
Tomorrow: I'll have somewhat of a workout in the morning, most likely, a run. I don't think the people downstairs will be to happy with me using my trainer early in the morning. After that, go to school, come back, trainer(form, bike settings), study and then swim.
