One day after the marathon February 28, 2006

I was expecting some severe pain, not being able to get out of bed and not wanting to go to school. None of that really happened though, got out of bed the usual time with a little pain that I was able to handle and I went to school like every other day. After school, I came home, took a nap and went for a swim.

The swim: I was expecting a tough swim because of leg pains and so and so but the hardest part of it was that I forgot my goggles…The coach let me use an extra pair of goggles and DAMN my eyes hurt so bad. I had to stop during the 200m warm up, hehe. Didn't swim the whole warm up, only 100m. Then 100m scarling+100m pull*2. I only did 50m scarling+50m pull for the first set. Kick drills, 25m*2 kick, 25m*2 kick+right hand pull, 25m*2 kick+left hand pull, 25m*2 swim, 40sec cycle, 2sets. I was freaked out by the next one, 50m*20 sprints, easier than expected 1min30sec cycle. 25m*8 kick sprints 1min cycle, 25m*4 sprints and then 100m cool down. So that's a total of 2200m, no problem with the legs.

After the swim, I was at the door getting ready to go home and one of the girls opened the door(I was outside), smiled and said bye. I guess she really had a nice day, hehe, it's nice of her to share her smile;-) But one of the guys, he seems to be unhappy lately. I asked him what's the problem and he said he was tired, didn't see him smile today. I wonder if that girl shared her smile to him too…

Tomorrow: Come home, trainer ride(this time, it's for real) and then a swim, the "Speedy Tuesday." Wonder when I'll make a new PR…
