Swim Night

Back in the pool, and I felt much better than I did in the lake the other night. Tonight's program included: 200m warm up, 1 x 400m 'spot the buoy' exercise, 8 x 100m drills (25m TI3, 50m TI4, 25m TI3; with 15 second rest every 100m), 3 x 50m drills (fists up, swim back), 200m cool down. This put me through my paces! The sprints (TI3/TI4 levels) were exhausting, but I managed to do all 8 100m lengths, and held true to the 15 second breaks. The rest of the program was pretty easy.

Tomorrow... back downtown where we will do a 'mini tri': 20 minutes in Lake Michigan, 30 minutes on bike, and 30 minute run. This will give me more time in the lake (which I REALLY need), and allow me to practice 'transitions' between events. We'll see how it goes!
