swim success!

I have a bit of catching up to do, as I had a blog-worthy weekend and it's a new month, but let's start with the swimming!

This was the workout for today:

Duration 45-60 mins Distance 2000yd Pool length 25yd

Warm up
•	8 x 25yd Any Stroke (even pace), rest 0:10 / 25yd
Build up (repeat 4 times)
•	1 x 50yd Front Scull and Kick, rest 0:15 / 50yd
•	1 x 50yd Freestyle Push & Glide, rest 0:15 / 50yd
Core
•	12 x 50yd Freestyle Swim, target time 01:30 / 50yd, rest 0:15 / 50yd
•	4 x 50yd Freestyle Kick with kickboard, rest 0:15 / 50yd
•	6 x 50yd Freestyle Swim, target time 01:30 / 50yd, rest 0:15 / 50yd
•	2 x 50yd Freestyle Kick with kickboard, rest 0:15 / 50yd
Warm down
•	2 x 100yd Easy Any Stroke, rest 0:20 / 100yd

I finished in 50 minutes--not too bad, I guess. I did all the 50 frees on 1 minute (plus 15 seconds rest) instead of 1:30! I have never timed my swimming before except to note the total time, so it's neat to find out that I go faster than the plan required. That means I have to get a tougher workout for next week, right?

No rude swimmers this week--had the lane to myself for a long time, then had 2 different people split the lane with me for short periods. I may be spoiled from when I was a lifeguard and could have the whole olympic pool to myself, but I can certainly handle splitting. As long as there aren't 3+ swimmers--I despise swimming circles. I know, I have to get over that. I will.
