2000 yards. In the gap between John's dropoff at school and work starting, I caught 2000 more yards of swimming. An older lady came late in my workout and relaxingly cruised at the same speed or faster than me. When you get out and see how slow she was, and how slow I am with … Continue reading More laps uninterrupted

My aquatic endeavors explained…
2000 yards. Before heading to the fundraiser, I squirreled away to swim at Okee LA Fitness. I didn't have much time, so I hopped in and swam 40 laps and finished. This is exactly what happens in a race, so I should be used to how all or nothing feels.
2000 yards. When I watch others swim at what my pace turns out to be, it looks painstakingly slow. For the record, I don't try to go faster, I try to make the swim as least taxing as possible. Warmup Set (400y) 4 x 100 [25 kick/50 swim/25 kick] @ 0:15 rest Main Set (1500y) 7 … Continue reading Getting better
2000 yards. I felt better in this workout, I thought about Motivation Man and how long I'd really be in the water. .9 mi. isn't that long, espcially on flat waters like the INtracoastal. Warmup Set (400y) [100 easy, 75 easy-moderate, 50 moderate, 25 moderate-hard] @ 0:15 rest between each interval 150 drill Main … Continue reading Quiet at the pool
2000 yards. A quick jaunt to LA Fitness to do a swim. Lanes were clear, then a water aerobics lady came so I moves to give her the widest lane. It seemed like it took me a long time to get this workout done. Warmup Set (400y) 8 x 50 [25 easy/25 build] @ 0:10 … Continue reading Some fitness at lunch
This was a gamble, training exercise slated for Palm Beach - based at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and Worth Avenue. The local Palm Beach police aren't usually keen to having anything "out of the ordinary" occur on their watch. Shirtless people scampering down the Worth Ave straightaway is not on their things to … Continue reading Stealthman 3
2000 yards. I felt neat leaving the crummy weather outside to get a swim workout in. I was trying new clear TYR goggles and I remember noticing the shortness of breath I had in the early warmup laps. I did the 300s and had some thoughts about form, but I felt my breathing needed the … Continue reading First in awhile
3/8mi, 13mi, 5k This was a good outing, the threat of a tropical storm interfering with the race faded as the race date drew closer. The pre-race show Friday night was in its usual cramped Jupiter Resort ballroom. I got a neat Tri Running Sports hat from Linda to wear on the run - very … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon ’11
2000 yards. Seems like my last few swims have been mostly repetitive 75m intervals. I do them, it seems to take awhile to get to the pool, do the workout, and drive back to work in time. Long arms, good breathing. Warmup Set (300y) 3 x 100 easy-mod @ 2:20 Main Set (1400y) 18 … Continue reading More 75s?
2000 yards. The pool was full of swimmers, when I got there, like share a lane at LA Fitness? For a few laps, yes... I felt it took a longer than usual time to swim 2000 yards, many reps of 50s today. Warmup Set (400y) 2 x 150 (25 easy, 100 build, 25 hard) @ … Continue reading Solo until I get there
