It is hard to believe it is Wednesday already. I had a stomach bug Sunday and Monday and have just about caught up with things. Saturday’s workout was with my swimming group, and I did the warm up with them: 6 x 100 free/back, 100 each swim kick drill. Then 4 x 50 free @ 1:00. After coaching the group, I swam 8 x 50 more: free on 1:00 and breaststroke on 1:15 and that was enough! Kinda hard remembering the 5000 workouts of a few years ago, but that’s what got me into trouble….Power Lung was there with me, and I used it to warm up before and warm down after. It means that those first few hundred yards are much more pleasant and relaxed, and somehow I feel more buoyant. Feels great to smell like chlorine again! We have a new swimmer in the group-a former French National team member. The ladies really perk up when he comes in! I always swim better when I am next to him because I can see what he does under the water, and talk about a great line. This week’s schedule is weird, so may only get back in the water again Saturday. Definitely not enough water time! Till next time..
