Today I swam at noon (because those dang caterpillars were being sprayed for at 6AM), and though I was initially grumpy about it, I loved it. The sun was out and the circuits were a blast. Thanks Tim for mixing it up this month - I think it's been a year at least since I was at a workout with circuits and deck-work and I WANT MORE (except I can do without the water polo head up swimming with a ball. My nose hurts.)
I hate fins. Why, as a soccer player, I can't kick or use my legs in the pool, I don't know. But I can't kick. I seem to go backwards when no fins are on my feet, and I feel like my lungs are going to explode when I do use fins. Go figure. Today I'm also losing my left big toenail, which is always a fun sensation while finning. *warm up: 300 free, 200 back to breast, 100 kick, 50 strong add fins for: *3 x 50's free on TIGHT interval (35 s) 150 recovery *3 x 100's free on TIGHT interval (1:10) 150 recovery *3 x 150's on TIGHT interval 150 recovery *3 x 200's on TIGHT interval remove fins for: *150 easy *2 x 50's hard repeat 2x
