I am usually up by 8:00 on the weekends but today I had trouble rolling out of bed in time for the 10:00 adult swim. I put on my trunks (yes, I called them trunks) and headed out the door. I got there a few minutes after 10:00 and all the lanes were taken. I found a spot to squeeze into and started my work out.
I warmed up with a set of 10×50. I took a minute rest between each lap. I then moved on to a little longer set. I went for 5×200. Again with a minute or so of rest between intervals. I finished my workout with a solid 500.
A grand total of 2000yds, I felt pretty good about the swim, but I was totally exhausted the rest of the day. I think I could complete a sprint tri now, but I would not be setting any speed records. A good lap was usually between 55-60 seconds. I really would like to get faster, but I also would like to build up a little endurance. I probably need a coach, but I am not sure if I am ready to start doing kick drills and flip turns. Maybe in a couple weeks when I am back in the swing of things.
If you know a good coach, send a name my way, thanks.
