No Skate Day


Although my new skateboard is supposed to come today, we will be waiting until at least Thursday for me to attempt some tricks, due to the rain. Sigh.

*warmup by lengths: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 odd ones with 2 lengths stroke included

add pull gear for:

*600: 100 regular, 25 breath control every 6 strokes, 25 sprint
*500: 75 regular, 25 breath control every 5 strokes, 25 sprint
*400: 50 regular, 25 breath control every 4 strokes, 25 sprint

remove pull gear for:

2 x 450 done in repeating pattern:
1. build by 25 starting at 25 up to 100 free regular, then 25 sprint, 25 recovery back
2. reduce by 25 starting at 100 down to 25 free regular, then 25 sprint, 25 recovery breast

PURE

The workout email said 3 x 1000's PURE for today and yes it was! Last night I read the short story "Swimming" in the recent New Yorker and this morning it came back to me. As T Cooper wrote, "You know that feeling (while swimming)...where you're pushing so hard that you understand how a body could just as easily die as live, that living is just the absence of death, and thus always in a relationship with death?"
