After two difficult races in 2 weeks, I am ready to get back into my routine training. I missed 2 weeks of masters swim, and I couldn’t wait to go swim today. Before I left the house, I watched a little of the Boston Marathon on TV. I was rooting for Kara and Ryan. I know they both placed third, which is an amazing achievement, but still wish and American could have won. I don’t care, Kara Goucher is still my hero.
There was a good Monday group at the pool. After a 500 warm up. we did 2x 4×200’s decreasing 1-4 on the 3:15. That means we did four 200 yard swims, getting faster with each 200, twice. After that, and easy 50. Followed by 20×25 on the 30 with no breath. It was a bad day for breathing, as Oz put it. I think I took one breath on almost all of my 25’s. The last thing we did was an all out 50. Nancy and I tried to beat Ozzie, but he won. I blame my race from Saturday.
I went to 1600 powerzone at fit club. I haven’t done weights for 2 weeks, and I was feeling wimpy. I took it easy today. I backed off a little on my weight just to be careful. I felt fine, I missed my Monday class.
