"You think your better than me? It's go time"
Yeah so easily one of my favorite lines in Seinfeld lines amoung hundreds of others, but it is truly what I felt today. Today I got in the pool only to be challenged by some older men who have clearly past their prime ... time to hang up the speedo there fella! It made me have a good day though as these guys would jump in and race for 100 yards and I would let them have their glory and then I would deliver beat down after beat down ...
Today was a decent day in the water. A bit painful, but the good kind of pain where you get out and feel like you really accomplished something. It consisted of the following:
4x250 yards warmup w/ 1:30 minute recovery after each one
5x [100yds recover on 1:45, 50yds on :40 fast]
150yds warmdown
That total 1900 yards accomplished in 38 minutes. Not to shabby, but very painful. I decided today I needed to stop recovering by sitting at the wall and catching my breath but I need to work on my sprinting ability in addition to recovering while swimming. No walss to sit on to recover in the middle of an open water swim. I am happy that the swimming is coming along nicely, but I expect by November to really be cranking and getting in 3000 - 4000 yards in an hour and doing lots of pace work. I guess it all depends on how the biking and running come along. Until the next session ... "It's go time"
