This morning I woke up before my alarm went off. Actually an hour before it went off but was able to toss and turn for a bit before it was time to get up. Since I felt pretty good I headed over to the swimming pool. I am a still bit sore from Sunday afternoon's workout but it was worth swimming this morning. Towards the end I felt some odd pain in the muscles of my arm. I'm chalking that up to fatigue. Once we moved on from freestyle to stroke the pain went away. Also during some of the 25 free sprints I tried to work that straight arm freestyle technique. I'm going to have to keep on working that to see if it'll do me any good on relay sprints.
Warm Up
200 Swim
200 Pull
100 split drill and swim (500)
then we did a 1/2 lap drill. head lead drill. dont' ask me as I did not get the concept.
400 Pull (first 200 DPS / second 200 breathing every 3/5/any/7) (400/900)
Free Set:
100 Kick on 2 mins
400 Swim on 5:30
4x25's Kick on 30
400 Swim on 5:30
4x25's Kick on 30
400 Swim on 5:30
100 Kick
I started off a bit too fast on the kick. For the 400 Swims I was holding below a 1:13 per 100 base. The last 400 I switched up my breathing per my coach. I was asked to breath every 3 but of course I started to get fatigued so I did the first 75 and last 100. (1600/2500)
6x25's Free (150/2650)
Then we moved onto some drilling of butterfly. (100/2750)
Then we did 8x25's 2 of each stroke (200/2950)
Then we warmed down. I did a 100 (100/3050)
I think that was the whole workout. Maybe another drilling part set. But for the most part that was it. I have a bit of "white liberal guilt" going on this morning. Living in Los Angeles seeing a homeless person on the street really doesn't even make me normally think twice about it. But as I was walking to the pool a young guy was walking barefoot, shorts inside out and a tee shirt. He looked like he had a very fun night and was lost. Either the drugs had made me disoriented or the drugs and maybe being from out of town. I saw him staggering a bit. I almost wanted to stop and talk to him. See if he was okay. But I didn't. So after workout I tried to see if I could find him on my way home. Figured he might still be stumbling or passed out on a stoop somewhere. I didn't find him and now I sorta think I should have stopped on my way to swim. He didn't look like your typical homeless person he just looked like a guy who had a bit too much fun the night before and was trying to find his wits. I'm sure he is either sobering up in a prison cell or some alley by now. Just had to share that and get a little guilt off my chest.
