First Lactic / Dive set of this season + my list of excuses:
List of excuses:
- Lifting Heavy which just kills my swimming
- First time in 2 1/2 month going off the blocks
- Sunday early in the morning is not an ideal time to swim fast - it's pretty much the first workout before noon all season.
- no fast skin - just old skin
- did I mention that the lifting makes me tired
Set = all on 6-7 minutes - yards - from a dive (not a rolling start like Ande)
150 - descend each 50 - 1:22.0
100 - all-out 50.2
100 - all-out 50.2
50 - 23.0
50 - 22.7
Well - my stroke is all over the place, trying to change my turns to add underwaters which did not work at all, I have little to no speed and I am hoping to swim the yards time of today in meters 10 weeks from now.
Nothing like a little reality check ...

Well, be glad, I just came back after 15 years and would be THRILLED if I came within 10 seconds of my best 100 free! :D
I clearly remember all those lactic acid sets. Even though I was a distance swimmer we still did them from time to time. It was usually 8 x 200's for us though on like 10 minutes or something. The Sprinters got the shorter stuff.
