Um, it's a sunny 66F / 19C outside. Why aren't we playing tennis?!! Got my own lane for most of the workout, which was great because of all of the stroke work I was doing. Shoulders and arms were h-e-a-v-y, and you know it's bad when you're on the s... read more

Chio swam 2500 yards in 40 mins goodComing Clean :: Day 96b – 2500 yd / 00:40
Knew that I eventually had to get back in the water because I didn't warm down after the 500 like I should've. So, instead of going home, eating, napping and then fighting the inevitable lazies, decided to inhale a Clif bar on the car ride back and dro... read more

SWIM MEET! Yardage is estimated and includes warm-up, four events (50 breast, 50 free, 100 IM and 500 free) and warm-down.
Need to get the body back into racing mode, so sprung forward and made the hour drive in the pouring rain. Had heard good th... read more

Wow, sounds like a mixed bag for you! wobbly legs? they should be strong after all that running?! 50free breathing sounds crazy - one breath over the distance... wow! All that hypoxic training paid off huh? funny on the 500 free, so typical - when you're relaxed and take the pressure off - you exceed! Excellent meet, you deserved a treat!

@aki - thanks - legs were weak *from* all of that hilly running the day before :P yeah, think the hypoxic sets are paying off. just need to get my speed back, and i'll be set! i do swim better when i'm relaxed, but that 500 was beyond relaxed!

@alex - thanks - rubber legs after just one event is downright pathetic! j. dang - haha :D will have to share yr comment with her! the warmdown 500 was a PR by 0:03! :O
@michelle - yeah, it's like 12&u swim meets again! i had a disastrous 500 at a previous meet and needed to redeem myself. but now i feel like i need to swim it once more for a *real* time!
