Thursday Night Swim

I told myself I was going to take today off from swimming and all forms of working out. Well as they day wore on I felt like swimming. So I headed to the 7pm swim practice at the WeHo Pool. One thing for sure is that it's warmer at night then it is a 6am. Maybe I should consider sleeping in all winter.

Warmup seemed to go on forever. I didn't count my laps but I can guess that I did somewhere between 600 and 700 yards.

Warm Up Set:
3x
25 Drill
50 Drill / Swim
50 Swim (free/stroke)
25 Swim
I don't remember much of this set just that each round was one stroke IM order.

3x200's on 2:50 Pulling. 1st breathing 3/5/3/7 by 50, 2nd one build each 100, 3rd one breathing 3/5/5/7

Main Set:
100 Kick on 2:00
75 Kick on 1:30
50 Kick on 1:00
25 Kick on 30
Right into 3x
150 2:15 (i think) 50 free / 50 stroke / 50 free
2x75's IM on 1:05
100 Kick on 2:00
75 Kick on 1:30
50 Kick on 1:00
25 Kick on 30
okay i took 5 seconds extra rest to regroup and see the next round on the board
3x again
150 free the 4th lap was underwater only breathing twice. shit, i don't remember the interval.
2x75's free on 55

Damn that set was hard. Those 75's in both the IM and Free kicked my ass. The worst part was that my lane mates couldn't handle the intervals so they sat some of it out and did free instead of stroke. I was getting pissed off by this. I know it shouldn't matter but when I'm doing IM barely making the intervals and the person behind you is doing free that sucks. Then in the free round the one guy who was left swam the 4th lap never going underwater w/ only 2 breathes. So of course he'd catch up to me at that point.

Final Set:
3x
100 on 1:30 25 fly / 50 free / 25 fly
75 on 1:00 25 fly / 25 free / 25 fly
25 on 30 fly

I moved over to the other lane during the final set. I made a comment to the swimmer I was with about him swimming free while I did stroke. He apologized saying that he was in the wrong lane as he expected a slower fast lane like we have sometimes. I didn't care at that point as the workout was done and over with. This workout was a tough one and boy am I still feeling it. I should sleep in and just swim tomorrow night instead. We will see, we will see.
