I am now swimming with a new team. I think everyone of them is insanely fast. By insanely fast I mean they are either Olympians (true story), former DI NCAA finalist, World Record holders, etc. Not sure how or why they let me in ... perhaps as their entertainment. This was the main set this morning, it is SCY but still ...
4 X (3 x 100 1 @ 1:30, 1 @ 1:10, 1 @ 1:30, 200 free)
Round 1 200 Fr @ 2:30
Round 2 200 Fr @ 2:20
Round 3 200 Fr @ 2:10
Round 4 200 Fr @ 2:00
Being nowhere near fast enough to do almost any part of this set AND being a "drop dead" sprinter AND having to get out to get to work on time I missed all of it sans the first 3 100s which were more than enough.
I believe at least a couple made the entire set ... I told a teammate I would have needed fins, paddles and prayer to come close ...
Not discouraged at all. I'm not a 200 swimmer AT ALL. Friend of mine that's a coach watched me attempt to swim the 200 at nationals. His comment, "yeah, by the 150 it was very clear you are a sprinter. Ouch!" I was dying well before that point.
I'll stick with my lovely sprint workouts and marvel at the speed, talent, and fitness of my teammates. :applaud:
