It's not going to be as interesting as Ande's but I realized when I was powerlifting 10 years ago that this is the best way for me to track and evaluate my progress so here it is.
OK, I had forgotten how much the first couple of weeks back in the gym sucked. I was extremely sore this morning and slept in, promising myself that I would swim this evening. I left work late, got home at 7:30 and actually managed to get myself to the pool in time for 8pm practice.
3 Jan 08
8pm SCM with team
200 swim, 150 kick, 150 pull w/u
4x75 Free descend on 1:20, 1:05, 1:02, :57, :52
200 Pull
4x75 Back on 1:30
200 Kick
4x75 *** on 1:30, 50 pace, R :05, 25 Sprint - ok what sick SOB puts this RIGHT after 200 KICK??? My quads just gave up on me here.
200 Free for time. Thrashed my way to 2:42
50 EZ
3x100 IM on 1:45 - OMG I'm gonna DIE!!!!!!!
150 Free
2500m
While I was suffering the whole time with being so sore and not being able to really extend my stroke, after it was over I was very glad that I did go as the soreness is probably much less than if I had skipped.
