2000 yards. Nothing out of the ordinary here, although I am noticing that when I first get in the water, I am acutely in tune with form vs. the end of the workout when my arms aren't in front of me as long. Today my benchmark lady swimmer was in her first lane, I chose … Continue reading Breast stroke winner

2000 yards. That clicking sound is me hopping in the pool after a marathon yesterday and really feeling good about stroke count. Lap #1: I cared enough about this to start counting it from the beginning. First lap - 17 strokes. Huh? I'm not that efficient - swim back. 18 strokes. I was deliberately gliding … Continue reading What’s that clicking sound?
2000 yards. It's not a breakthrough, but I definitely feel better counting the strokes and watching others for mental entertainment while in the lanes. I arrived later than usual and waited until the lady who always seems to be there said I could swim between her and a heavy set guy int he large open … Continue reading See that light
2000yds. I felt good going in to the second swim of the week (big stuff for me) but upon entering the water, a change. My benchmark sr. citizen lap swimmer was moving well today, I initially in a few laps caught and passed her, but once warmed up, we remained at the same pace for … Continue reading Maybe I’m not…
2000 yards I did the early am LA Fitness swim today. There was a senior citizen lady slapping laps in a lane next to me. For most of my workout, we went about the same pace. I would be faster on the straight swimming, I think she did good rapid turns and caught some time … Continue reading The wet truth
2000m. After I drop John, it's kinda too early to hit the office, so I've incorporated swimming at the LA Fitness that lies between John's school and the office. I don't have the Swim Planner App on my phone anymore, so I just get in, swim 40 touches tot he other side and I'm done. … Continue reading Swim reluctance
2000m It's getting easier to just hop in the LA Fitness pool and tick off a mile. Sometimes I feel like I go in stagger step pulls, like I'm accelerating then I slow then I accelerate again. The pool area was very warm today, dark in one corner because I think some lights are burnt … Continue reading Another lunch mile
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. 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
