Much needed Sat Morning Swim

Had a good table tennis practice last night with the boys at the club. Slept in till 9 am. Went over to Surf N' Swim and found out that they close the pool at 10 for swimming lessons. Great! So I went over to SDRC and did this workout which comes out of January's USMS magazine. I made a few modifications, and made it come to 5000 instead:

Warmup:
400 free
300 IM (kick, drill, swim by 25's IM Order)
300 - 6 x 50's descend 1-3 on :55
300 - 12 x 25's kick on :45 (odd breaststroke, even underwater dolphin)

Main Set:
600 - 2 x 300's free on 4:30
600 - 3 x 200's free on 3:00
500 - 5 x 100's free on 1:30
400 - 8 x 50's free descending breathing drill - start at 9 per 50, ending at 1 per 50.

200 Free Easy

400 - 8 x 50's kick with fins (IM Order subst breast with dolphin on back)

800 - 4 x 200's free pull on 3:00

200 EZ

5000 Yards total - 1.5 hours

Felt great about this workout. Now for two hours on the bike!

Got Cathi in

Cathi came along today to kick off our weight loss quest for the beginning of this year. Snowed like crazy today. I-15 was a nightmare so Cathi suggested I take FrontRunner home and leave the car at work. That was a great idea cause I made it home in 40 minutes versus 2 hours by car. Left my pool accessories in my swim bag in the car so I did no kick/pull sets today:

1000 - 1000 Free (14:08)
100 Breast EZ
1000 - 1000 Free (14:35)
100 Breast EZ
1000 - 10 x 100's (odd EZ, even fast (Less than 1:15) on 2:00/1:30)
100 Grandpa swimming

3300 Yards total
