Wish it was sunny February 26, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , trackbackHey guys, my first marathon is tomorrow!!! BUT here's what happened today. I had my first Saturday morning swim in bad weather. The best part of the morning swim is that the sunlight comes through the windows and it just feels soooo good swimming in a cold pool and getting hit by the warm sun at the same time.
The morning swim: Before the swim, I went for a 3km warm up run and at this point, I thought I'd be alone…Which I'm not very happy being alone sometimes. But then I saw a pink person waving at me walking the other way and it was one of the girls, good, now I'm not alone. She must have good eyes, I was pretty far and didn't notice her until she talked to me. 2800m swim after the run. I don't remember the whole workout but I remember that I did a lot of kicks and fast swims.
I was supposed to have the trainer intervals but I had some major nose problems, just couldn't stop the faucet. Ended up buying some medicine after I went to get the racing number. Luckily, this medicine works VERY well. The running faucet was fixed in no time. Then, I headed for the afternoon swim.
The swim: Swam a total of 3800m. The first quarter or so were all kick drills. Now, the fins are annoying…It's not that my quads hurt or anything but last week, it gave me 2blisters from all the friction. I got lucky today, it only hurted, hehe. The second quarter was pulling with pads, tiring… And then, speed training. The 50s are really tough, 25s just finish really fast. I'm pretty much wiped out, finally.
Tomorrow: The marathon!!!! I hope I get through it alive. I don't care how slow I run as long as I get through the finish line. After that, I'll take a good long rest in the afternoon and do some studying if I have the guts.
