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.
"Hello, 911? I'd like to report an attempted murder"
So there I was thinking that it might be a good idea to try other things. So I decided to drop by and work out with Fortress. OH....MY.....GOD... She is insane but in a good way. I don't remember my quads ever just BURNING like they did, even at the height of my powerlifting. I have no idea what we did in terms of distance I just know it hurt.
Oh, BTW to Mr Paul 'let's come up with something completely insane' Smith, we tried your V-scull/10 second power kick/SDK/sprint flutter kick 50s. I think we did 6 of them? I dunno, can't remember thru the pain. Ugh. Yes, they were different and YES, they hurt. But they were a very nice change of pace.
So this has caused me to rethink my current swimming fitness level. I had thought that I was about a 6.5-7 on a 1-10 scale but now, after dragging my sorry carcass from the pool, I think it's closer to a 5.
But, had fun, it was definately intense and definately what I need to work more of. And my admiration for Fortress and her level of dedication/effort continues to rise. Thanks for letting me suffer, Leslie :thhbbb:
But seriously, thanks for the workout. Believe it or not, I did enjoy it.
