Holy crap, I swam a little over 8km today March 28, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentSad though, I didn't get on the trainer nor did I go for a run. Wait, I went for a 3km warm up run but that's all. Had a morning swim and an afternoon swim.
Morning swim: 400m warm up, 300m*3kick(7:30, the fast ones did 400m), 100m*14pull(2:00), 4sets of 200m*1(3:30)+25m*8(0:30)+1min rest, 25m*4sprints, 100m cool down. Total of 4300m. I felt strong after I got through the 4sets of 200m+25m*8+1min rest, I really had trouble doing 2sets of these on Saturday. Everything's getting a bit easier but still tough, it's always the first and last few sets of whatever that's painful…Will I make it through? I better or else the coach is gonna stare at me with those sharp eyes, making me feel miserable. The fastest guy came today but he still looked a bit burnt out, he stopped a few times.
Afternoon swim: 400m warm up, 300m*3kick(7:30), 100m*8pull(2:00), 25m*16pull with pads(0:30), 3sets of 200m(3:30)+25m*8(0:30)+1min rest+200m hard(4:30), 100m cool down. I was sooo ready to fight against time during the last 200m hard but my shoulders just wouldn't listen to me and my legs couldn't kick any faster, stamina is what I need. Well, I need everything….hehe. That's a total of 8700m for today.
Tomorrow: Morning swim and an afternoon swim. This time, I'll definately get a trainer ride and a run in. My goal for spring break is to go to all the swims that are planned and run every 3km warm up run…which sadly, the swimmers aren't forced to do. The forecast predicts rain, let's see how much they've improved…
