Swim/Work/Ride/Sleep
WHERE does the time go I ask? Seems as if it just flys by. One minute I'm getting up and putting the contacts in to start the day and the next minute I'm getting ready for bed again.
Nonetheless let's talk swimming! This morning I made a reappearance at masters practice! I feel like I haven't been there forever but really it was just last week that I skipped seeing as how I was on a different schedule for the race. Anyway, this morning was 30x75 (we are back to SCY) set up as 3x(10x75). I really liked this workout! It was over before I knew it (and that's even considering the fact that my lane lost count and actually did 31x75! :)
Within each set of 10 there were 2x75 that were "all out" of which I consistently swam :50s. That didn't mean much to me at the time as I don't regularly swim 75s and therefore don't know what a good time might be. But while I was stretching after the workout, I was doing some calculating and decided that :50 was, at the very least, 1:10 pace and maybe a bit faster. I'll take it!
Anyway, I felt good and strong and wondered at least 10 times during the workout why I don't feel like this during the swim portion of races. But then I assured myself that sooner or later I will figure it all out.
Work was work and then home for a bike ride! I was super excited because it was VERY nice outside while I was driving home. I had been preparing myself mentally for a trainer ride because it was supposed to be stormy and raining but apparently the weathermen got that one wrong! Instead it was sunny and in the high 60s. Could you ask for better cycling weather? And it wasn't even windy!
I didn't get started until a little later in the evening but that just made for an even nicer ride because traffic had died down some. And I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now excuse me while I go thoroughly enjoy my bed. :) Good night everyone!

Hey there! Stellar work on the swim! NICE JOB! I know those are tough - but you said it: it will all click and then you'll be a super stud in the water during races. Just give it time - what you're doing now will pay dividents in the end!
