9mi Fifty or sixty miles of cycling on a windless South Florida morning, that was my plan. I had dropped John off at CVS for his scout trip to NC. I made it to Loggerhead Park nice & early, too. I forgot the headband again - a noticeable loss in humid heat conditions. Austin, Troy … Continue reading Spin a negative into a good workout

2000 yds. Sometimes when I swim it is as if I am starting over. I don't feel I have any mastery of basic freestyle, and I seem slow to kick and pull. That was today. Nothing out of the ordinary, here's the workout, many 25s for the main set. I started following the interval times, … Continue reading Where’d it all go?
2000 yards. I tried the swim fins with yesterday's workout - it led me to have weird cramps in my toes and calf muscles. Today, thankfully, no kicking was prescribed. Just a few mixed sets of regular freestyle. It was warm and uncrowded today, wait 'til next week when all the schools are out and … Continue reading No kicks after therapy

2200 yards. Carolyn gave me a workout to follow from the TriFaster iPhone app, which I purchased myself as a result. I found it very interesting to be following a plan vs just slapping 2000 yards of self-imposed boredom. Here's the workout... Warmup Set (400m) 4 x [4 x 25 @ 0:35] Main Set (1400m) … Continue reading With a purpose!
2000 yds. Today was plain and simple. I did all my yardage freestyle, no rush, but felt like I was side to side more correct than before. I didn't bother with flip turns, just swam leisurely to get better form. The air was 78 degrees. The pool water was 78 degrees. It all matched up! … Continue reading It all matches up.
