Memorial Day Intervals
>> Tuesday, May 26, 2009
I hit the pool yesterday for some speed-work. I thought I'd do 16 repeats of 100 yards with 20 seconds rest between. Here's the first 8:
1:25
1:28
1:30
1:29
1:30
1:30
1:30
1:30
Feeling good. Feeling strong. The first few were smooth. They felt "right." Like my attraction to George Clooney. I was thinking I could MAYBE keep them all at or under 1:30. But then it started getting harder, and my form walked out on me. Here are my splits from my last 8:
1:30
1:32
1:31
1:33
1:31
1:33
1:31
1:30
I finished with a 1:30.19 / 100 yard average, which was pretty good! I wish I had my camera, because my "vein of approval" was out for quite some time after that workout!! I wanted to lift weights, but I was a little nauseous from pushing so hard in the pool. So I walked around the Y for a minute, stretched a little, and then decided to call it a day.
Back with photos of Pharmie and I from Saturday's Apple Duathlon as soon as they come out! Have a great short week!

Nice swim workout! I bet you were tired afterwards. I always have to do my lifting before I swim because I lose my determination after. Good luck with the porch!
you rock, Steve.
Congrats on the Apple finish too.
Great job on the swim splits. Vein of approval? Must post pictures
Sweet job. Now that I have been hitting the pool, I can appreciate those times.
Nice laps!
Nice! Is your watch waterproof? If I push my buttons while swimming my watch goes dead and doesn't come back!
As usual, you rock. :o)
you are a fishie! nice 100s!
At first, I didn't read the "pool" part and I was thinking, man, that's not very fast for 100 yards running. But then I realized that I'm a fool. Still, I have no concept of pool times so...GREAT JOB!
Dang you're pretty fast in the water....can I borrow some of that in 16 days? Just a little of your "fast"....you wont even notice its gone. :P
