Week 24: Getting With the Program

11/3/13

1200 yds.

30 min.

Focused on 45-degree stroke, straight pull and two-beat kick.  The two-beat rhythm felt completely automatic.  My time for each 100 was about 1:51.

11/5/13

1400 yds.

38 min.

Focused on 45-degree stroke, straight pull and two-beat kick.  The two-beat rhythm felt completely automatic.  My time for each 100 was about 1:51.

11/7/13

1600 yds.

40 min.

Focused on 45-degree stroke, straight pull and two-beat kick.  The two-beat rhythm felt completely automatic.  My time for each 100 was about 1:51.  I met my goal to swim 3x this week!  Up until now, I have found this to be very difficult.  My biggest challenge has been fatigue.  I am really trying to fight through that.  I also met my distance goals for the week!  It was strange starting at only a 1200, but I needed to start slow, due to coming back from pneumonia.

11/9/13

200 yds.

25 min.

64-degree water at Upton Lake!!!  Clint and I did it!  The most encouraging thing is that the Strait will most likely be 5-7 degrees warmer than this!
