Outside Pool

Today's swim was depressing in a way. I felt like I was swimming well, hitting the wall every time, staying pretty consistent, and then I looked at my times. I was almost 20 seconds slower than where I normally am (which is already about 30 seconds slower than where most of the pros are) on every hundred. I think they lengthened the pool over the weekend!

• 350 warm up
• 12×25 drill
• 6×100@5sec (1:44, 1:49, 1:52, 1:54, 1:52, 1:55; 1:51 average)
• 8x75@45 4×75@45 (1:16, 1:18, 1:17, 1:20; 1:17.75 average)
  
• 12×25 6×25 kick
• 350 150 cool down

So I swam 1,850 instead of 2,650, but that was all I had time for. It will be even less tomorrow unless I have time to get back in the pool after my run. Here are some previous swim stats:

• 5-05-10 (3:14.2 average 200s; 1:37.75 average 100z)
  
• 4-13-10 (1:37.37 average [@5sec] and 1:29.67 average [@1min])
• 4-06-10 (1:34.25 average)
  
• 3-30-10 (1:34.11 average)
  
• 3-17-10 (1:38 average)
• 3-09-10 (1:34.67 average)
• 3-03-10 (1:41.82 average)
• 2-24-10 (1:40.55 average)
• 2-23-10 (1:35.57 average)
• 2-17-10 (1:46 average)
• 2-16-10 (1:39.55 average)

Then it was time for a bike ride with the Harpeth Bike Club. This week's ride, although the same route as last week's, was slightly longer. The GPS doesn't show it all because I forgot to start my computer right away.
