Once again, I was back in the pool today. Laura and I have worked out an arrangement whereby she get's Tuesdays and Saturdays to do an early morning workout, and I get Mondays & Fridays. The purpose of the arrangement is to allow us to get our training sessions in but keep one of us at home with the boys to watch over them and feed & change them.
Today, I was back at the pool to try to get back into the swing of the swimming thing. The water was very cold... relative to what it normally is at the Wash Park Rec Center. Typically, they keep it very warm for the aquaerobics, which is mostly attended by older people, who prefer warm water. I think it's usually in the mid-to-upper 80's. Bleah!!! Today, it was a crisp, cool 78 degrees... a little shocking at first, but very pleasant once you've warmed up.
Today's workout was nothing difficult. I had a planned workout, but forgot to memorize it before this morning, so I just made it up as I went along. The focus of today's swim was on form and drills.
I warmed up with 5 x 100 swimming easy followed by 4 x 100 alternating 100 kick, 100 stroke drills, and then 100 mod. hard effort. The main set was 10 x 50 alternating Hard/Med./Easy. I tried to keep the rest intervals farily short, but wound up resting too much. I cooled down with an easy 200 meter pull. Total: 1700 meters ~ 45 min.
