Take a dip in March!

[Veronica]

I swam 2300 yards today. I started off with a 3 x 200 warm up, s-k-p. Then I did a reverse ladder starting at 275 yards, then 250, 225... all the way down to 25. I took a minute rest between each swim and swam them pretty hard, averaging between 1:40 - 1:45 per hundred. I'd much rather swim a 1650 straight then do this. But intervals are good for you.

That last 25 was fun. I took no breaths and did it in under 20 seconds. 19.3 to be exact. I wish I could swim every 25 that fast.

A whooping 50 yard cool down and I was done.

V - If you can do 25 with no breaths, you need to do underwater dolphins!

My first swim of March was a little rough because I wasn't feeling well and the mucinex I took to get rid of post-nasal drip upset my stomach. Managed to slog out 2,100 yards before dragging myself in to work.

I don't like doing 25's because I hate waiting and starting from the deep end of the pool. Also, the clock at that end has a very small second hand so it's very hard to see.

I did my swim in the deep end yesterday. I felt like it was less effort to swim in the deep end than the shallo end. Am I dreaming that?

Maybe not. I know the pools they use for the Olympics are deeper than what we usually swim in but I don't know how deep they are.

Isn't warm water heavier than cool? That might make sense for why the deep end was easier to swim in than the shallow Susan, but I'm not sure.

1250yds for me today, need to keep upping the swim distance for HIM training. It's been more gradual this yr. with all the ultra training my legs are more tired by the time I get to the pool, but today was an improvement.
