Saturday in the pool
By Kim • Jul 19th, 2008 • Category: Kim's Training LogI woke to find a intermediate interval set waiting for me at the pool. I might be regretting the 2 beers I had at the sliders game last night. The plan was 6x 400 at 5:40 pace with 45sec rest in between. I did a 400 warm up, and started my first 400. There was no way I was going to be able to finish 6×400 if I did it at a 5:40 pace. So instead of pushing it too hard I did them on a 6:00 pace. I was able to finish all 6. Then I did a 500 pull, and 200 stroke drills. I finished with a cool down, for a total of 3600y. I felt great after the swim and I went to the nursery to get Brady. I had left my keys there, and now they were gone. No one at the front desk had seen any either. Great! My mom had to come pick me up and take me home, and get my extra set of keys. I left my number with fitclub. They called a little later, another mom had accidentally taken them. What a pain, but a least I got them back. The kids and I went to the Yacht club and swam again. There is no better way to spend a Satuday, than in the pool.
It was nice to see you at the game the other night. I had just gotten back from a week in Vegas with my daughters so I was kind of out of it but had a good time. Sounds like quit a workout!! Do you give swimming lessons? I’d like to consider a tri some day but I swim like a pebble
I just bought a house with a pool so I have a good place to practice.
Ditto. A week in Vegas, sounds nice. I love swimming, and have been doing it since I was little. For some reason I’m not the best at teaching others how. I tried to help my brother last year. Not sure if I helped at all? Dan? Consider a sprint tri with a 300m swim. Thats not too far. A house with a pool…No excuses on why you can’t practice your swim!
