So here was a pretty tough practice that I had with the Senior I kids yesterday. Coach said we won't do this kind of thing too often. It's the beginning of the long course season although this practice was done SCY.
I don't recommend that any masters do it unless they are Dennis Baker or Chris Stevenson and I'm sure this would be a piece of cake for them.
I did, however, have a great time and maybe this will help me in the 5K and 10K postal. Maybe not.
Quick Warm Up
300 Choice
3x200 Right/ Left/ Drill/ Swim Free by 50s @ 2:45
4x125 @ 1:40 Free/ Fly by 25s
Main Set
50x100
1-10 w/ FINS @ 1:20 Odds: Dolphin Kick on Back/ Evens: Kick on Side
Held about 1:05 or 1:10 Easy/ No problem
11-20 @ 1:20 Catch Up Free Drill Easy/ No problem; held 1:10s
21-30 Free @ 1:15 Easy/ No problem; held under 1:10 (between 6-9)
31-40 IM @ 1:25; Started feeling a bit puky around #36; made all of them and had around 6 seconds rest for all 10; kicking myself for not focusing more on IM; here's where the kids either excelled or started to fall apart
41-50 Free @ 1:10; held 1:05s; feeling pretty bad around #46 but after all that, wanted to finish the darn set
Last little thing - 3x200 Free @ 3:00 #1 Easy/ #2 Build/ #3 Fast - the gal next to me went a 1:57 on the last one. She beat everyone in the pool.
I skipped dry land as I was "toasty." Felt back to normal after a shower and a drink w/ my husband.
I was really impressed with the kids. No cheating (very minimal and the coach yelled at them when there was some cutting corners like swimming free into the wall on *** in the IMs) and they left on the correct intervals. They gave it all they got. I went out too hard on the first 30 and I think that's why I had trouble with some of the IMs and the last 5 on free. We all high 5'd eachother afterwards. Was really nice.
:cane:No way! My pug whines too exactly at 4 AM - every morning!!! We now get up and feed him at 4 AM. He runs our house. We are terrible parents, I admit. What causes your pug to whine? Is it a typical thing? I know that he's an old fellow.
You were really going to scare me if you told me you got sick b/c of Scot's workouts! Now you know to not eat and then swim. That's made me sick as well - I ate peanut butter once and then swam one of my first practices with SR I and I about puked up a lung.
i am not sure why pugsley whines, i dont know if it is pain or dementia.
he slept all last night:woot:i told chris senior i got sick from scot's workouts sometimes, and he said he is getting to you. i.e. i am working.
in 2000, martin zubero trained me. he was coaching some masters before he went to bolles. i knew him before. anyhow, martin had the same effect on me. i think so instance, you guys pull certain sets and he gives me iIM sets instead so he coaches to the swimmer instead of the group. :wiggle:
martin spoiled me unfortunately. but because i was practicing what i raced, i did well:bouncing:. right now, pt is the important thing. i can't even do flys with weights over 3 lbs.
