There's a lot of writing in the sets today. It's not really that complicated. I just like to over explain. LOL I was planning on doing three all out backstrokes, but, honestly, I was done. You'd think I wouldn't be, but I was. Again, maybe I need a vacation, some...

Yesterday's main set focus was on pacing. My goal was to pace every single 100 at 1:25. Except for the 100s in the last round, which I swam on 1:24, all of the others were 1:25 pace. I was happy with that, if less happy with how hard it was to do. LOL Remember, this...

I'm running behind with posting my workouts this past week. This will be the first of three. Not much to say except maybe I need a vacation. LOL 50-minute workout, Tuesday fun day 500 warmup (~7:10 min) Warmup set (600 yds, 11:40 min) 4 x 50 on 1:00 —25 dolphin...

I forgot to upload this workout yesterday. It was a fairly easy workout, and exactly what I needed yesterday. The original interval for the 300s was 5:15. We adjusted down because that would've been a minute rest. Too long. Which is a perfect example of what you can...

Despite the upset before the swim, this turned out to be a good workout. “Oh, the upset? What upset?” you ask. The moment when the gatekeeper couldn’t find my name on the list of swimmers. Luckily, I’d brought my phone with me and was able to bring up the receipt that...

Unlike yesterday, I didn't channel Katie Ledecky. Well, I tried, but failed miserably. This may be because it was 7 am, and I'm what is called a "country club" swimmer. In other words, I can swim at 11-ish or noon because I work from home and am self-employed. Or...

After watching Katie Ledecky’s inspiring 1500 m swim at the Olympic Trials last night, I got in the pool and swam faster than usual, not just for the warm up (which was 10-20 seconds faster), but the entire workout. I was keeping the 125s under 1:50, not really losing...

Today was a short workout because, with the beginning of summer and kids swim lessons, the pool staff are even less efficient than before. Okay, that's not really fair. They were inundated with parents and kids, but they could have let the lap swimmers in. All of us...

I wasn’t sure how the summer lap swimming was going to workout at the pool, but we still have space, so yay! We’ll see how things evolve over the summer. Hopefully, the amount of lap swim lanes doesn’t change from what it is now. I believe I’ve done the main set...
