Date: 9/3/13
Yards: 1600
Time: 47 min.
Stroke count: 19-20 - Clint needs to tell me more about measuring stroke count by time, rather than distance, which he says is more relavent to open water swimming.
Felt: Good. Need to practice overkick. Felt clumsy.
Challenges/Progress: The girls have started preschool. Claire will go M-F. Juliet will go MWF. This gives me a huge break. Time to get errands done. More time to swim!
Fears: None
Emotion: Calm
Learned:
1) Now have no excuses. Will swim 3x/wk starting now!
Date: 9/5/13
Yards: 1900
Time: 43 min.
Stroke count: Didn't count. Just tried to be constantly aware of form.
Felt: Great.
Challenges/Progress: Did Week 2/Workout 3. This involved a main set, in which I had to swim 10x100 with :10 rest between each, trying to maintain a consistent time. My times varied between 2:10 and 1:55, with an average time of 2:01 per 100. This is a big improvement from where I started. Also, I got faster overall, not slower like I used to do!
Fears: None
Emotion: Calm
Learned:
1) Felt good during first week of swimming 3 times! Will maintain this until I complete the 8 weeks worth of endurance workouts on Pace Club.
2) May join Masters swim team, because I would get individual coaching every Tues and Thurs at noon, while Claire stays for lunch bunch. This may help me with form/endurance. I would also meet other open water swimmers, mostly triathletes. Thinking about it...
