2000 yards. I came with Walter, his first Lake Lytal swim, and we were both surprised by the lanes being setup for long course. A strong wind and overcast skies made it easy to finish minus sunscreen. I was very glad the course was 50 yards, it felt good on my arms and chest. Maybe … Continue reading LONG Course!

2000 yards. Let me say this loud, the wetsuit is a HUGE advantage! Full arms over sleeveless, yes, that too. Adrianna lent me hers, the fit is good and it looks fast. I have to spend more time getting the material up on the legs and arms, it pulls hard on the shoulders if you … Continue reading Wetsuit Practice!
2000 yards. Less people show up for swimming now, and they sign in the locker room says the pool will be closed right after MiamiMan. Good, I can use a break from the swimming, but not too much of a break. I felt focused on form for the middle parts of it, and lost enjoying … Continue reading Laps in the lane alone
2000 yards As the race is only a week away, my need to swim twice a week is peaking. I feel chilled as I get in the pool, but I have to rush to work and discovery day tours so no delay. Besides, 200 yards in, I don't feel the pool water as cold anymore, … Continue reading Some kick that swimming is.
2000 yards. Today's swim started with an obese guy at the pool gate yelling and cursing at me because he was fumbling with his money to pay and I passed my card to be stamped ahead of him. Nice, the booth guy and girl said he was a local and unemployed, a regular that routinely … Continue reading Cool water, loud & fat patrons.
2000 yards. This workout had kicking, and I couldn't find a good set of the loaner cut short fins, so I did it with bare feet. I am slow. The longer intervals were ok, not taxing on the breathing. I think my arms do better and I'm getting better accustomed to a straight head and … Continue reading Better and not noticing the distances as much

2000 yards. Broken up into short 50s and 100s, today's workout was good to discover keeping my head down and hydro-dynamically out of the way. I watch others and want to keep the side swiveling motion going, as well as any effort to contribute with a kick. It helps! Warmup Set (300y) 4 x 75 … Continue reading More pull than kicking
2000 yards I didn't do the kicking because I was too lazy to get to the other side to fish through the bin for loner fins. I did the workout below and felt ok, no breakthroughs or hindrances. Warmup Set (400y) 2 x [50 easy @ 1:20, 100 moderate @ 2:25, 50 easy @ 1:20] … Continue reading More freestyle laps
2000 yards. I was so tired, I think the water woke me up to some extent. I was glad to see that today's workout on the SwimFaster app was all short intervals... Warmup Set (300y) [100 easy, 50 kick, 50 easy, 25 kick, 25 easy] @ 0:20 rest between each interval 50 choice Main Set … Continue reading Lazy lap slapping
