I know I said it was getting easy…One really good thing happened today March 17, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentThe Wednesday runs, yup, it felt easy yesterday but the pain came today. It wasn't any muscular pain, not in the joints either but I noticed I've got a popped blister kinda thingy on my right foot's pinky and it HURTS!!! The coach saw it and said, "from the fins, huh?" and I was like, "it's from yesterday's run but yeah, the last time I used fins was like…when?" I was only able to have a swim today because of the stupid school chorus competition practice. It's tomorrow and I barely even remember the lyrics, hehe, don't really care either. It was a disaster last year, why not make it a disaster this year too.
The swim: I went to the swimming pool 30min late due to stupid chorus practice. The stress was probably on my face, nobody really talked to me at first, not even the little kids, hehe. 50m backstroke, 2sets of 25m*8 kick drills(2-kick, 2-2kick 1pull, 2-1kick 2pull, 2-swim at 0:40cycle breast stroke), 25m*10 breast stroke pull with pads(0:40), 50m*10 freestyle swim(1:00), 25m*16(0:40, IM 4each), 50m cool down. Total of 1650m.
The good thing: After the swim, I changed clothes and went to the "coach room" and asked if tomorrow was gonna be breast stroke practice because if it was, I wasn't gonna go. The coach is a smart guy, he knows I'm feeling stupid swimming almost everyday but have only been practicing breast strokes for the past few days when there's only a month left till my first tri. So, he gave me a choice, either to keep swimming like today or swim with the faster guys freestyle. Now that's like the most dumbest question, ofcourse I'll swim with the faster guys. SO that means I'm gonna start drowning again tomorrow and that's the good news. AND I found out something the coach has been hiding from me, it's about the 2races coming up in May. I'm supposed to sign up for 2programs for each of the races, the 400m freestyle relay and the 800m freestyle relay. I was okay with that but then he told me I have to sign up for two more in order to enter the relay, damn it, now he tells me…He laughed and said, "It'll somehow go fine." Yeah, somehow…You know, when this "me participating in the relay" story came up, the original story was that I participated in one relay, the 400m freestyle, really miss those days, hehe. The only reason why I'm participating is because we don't have enough people and to tell the truth, I'm not really interested in these swim events…Already thinking of what kind of tris I'm gonna take part in next year because I'm gonna turn 18 and that means I could sign up for any tri!!! Next year will be the Miyako Strongman tri and then the following year I'll try the IM Japan.
Tomorrow: Stupid chorus competition is gonna be gone!!! YAY!!!! indoor trainer and a swim;-) Wish me luck…
