    December Fish!

    Hey Everyone!

    How is the swimming going?

    I missed a week due to thanksgiving (noooo!) But have been back in the pool a few times since then, and getting back on track. I swim now at a new 24/7/365 gym that I joined, and I LOVE IT!! Its a saltwater indoor pool, SCM instead of yards... and I never have to share a lane. Its wonderful

    Anyway, here is the workout I did yesterday:

    3100 scm:

    500 WU
    400 kick drill swim w/ fins

    200 desc. by 50
    1 x 100 fast
    200 back stroke
    2 x 100 fast
    200 pull
    3 x 100 :55 (which is somewhere in between :40-45 for scy)
    200 back stroke
    3 x 100 :55
    200 desc. by 50
    4 x 50 :00
    200 pull
    2 x 50 :00

    200 CD

    Hope everyone is doing well, happy swimming!

    November was my biggest swim month ever, 24000m. I'll take it a bit easier in December (only going for 18000m).
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I've settled into a routine of six days of week before work (weekdays) and a long swim on Saturday mornings. During November, I started increasing my weekday swims to 1800 (from 1500) a day. Saturdays, I swim for 90 minutes or longer.

    I'll be burning leave this month (use or lose), so I hope to have some more 90 minute plus swims in my log book for December.

    I'm focusing more and more on technique now.

    I might actually get back in the pool this week. Thinking about it counts... doesn't it?

    Pulled it together and did a 45 minute set...I have been a super swimming slacker....In january, Ironman training starts, so my coach has been nudging me to get back in the pool. It felt pretty good. A little slow, but it still went well!
    Slow and steady (like a train!)
