The fastest guy burned out March 25, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentNow this was surprising, the fastest guy is always a swimming machine. I was a bit shocked because he was stopped during the 50m intervals which came first. Kinda like telling a little kid that Santa doesn't exist, hehe. Something really hit me, even the fastest swimmers need rest. It's not like I didn't know this but I've never seen this guy stop. He went home after 30min or so and I spent the rest of the time with another FAST girl.
The swim: 400m warm up, 50m*8 swim(1:10), 50m*8 swim(1:00), 50m*8 swim(0:55), 100m*5 kick, 150m*3pull with pads(3:00), 100m*4pull with pads(2:00), 3sets of 100m swim(2:00 at pr+7sec)+25m*4(0:30)+1min rest+100m swim(3:00 at pr+4sec), 25m*4sprints, 100m cool down. Total of 4050m, it was planned to be 4500m, better than yesterday…If it wasn't for that other girl, I would've been dead by now. I was drafting a bit, hehe. Hope I could lead someday…
Tomorrow: 3km warm up run+morning swim, bike ride, run, afternoon swim. I haven't been doing what I wrote down, feeling a bit guilty these days. That'll probably help me to push myself out the door tomorrow. If I stick with the faster guys, I might swim 8km total tomorrow…Wouldn't it be awkward if I said I ran 3km and swam 8km? hehe.
