Generic Swim Update
290,300yds as of this morning.
I'm planning on swimming 50k this week, so I'll be well on my way to 400k before March is even done!
I did a T30 swim on Tuesday (where you see how far you can go in 30min) I was at ...
500yds @ 5:37
1,000yds @ 11:47
1,650yds @ 19:03
...
2,500yds @ 29:45 (I stopped there)
not bad considering I was several hundred shy of that last year.
luckily, i've been training right at the levels, this pace suggests I should.
Now to just get my racing in order before the big meets ...
GTSC Training Trip starts Saturday. We'll be swimming mornings and afternoons Sat-Wed!
DK and I just finished putting all 9 workouts together ... no jokes, this is gonna be a tough week!
All goes to plan, I might average almost 15k per day (YIKES!)
the MRI came back "clean" (not normal, but nothing worth examining further), so i'm going to proceed carefully.
this is the last week of training before ECCs, so i can't wear myself down too much.
i've already semi-planned how i'm going to take care of my body through the work,
so we'll just keep our prayers on health & happiness!
I'm excited about this trip ... it's really my last escape from reality until (i don't know when)
A preview of the meets to come, here are the meets/events/expected times on the horizon:
ECCs
I've got a great feeling about this meet ... :-D
Friday:
800 Free Relay (I'm going to lead off, hopefully it'll be fast ...)
200 Back (anything under 2:05 will be wonderful)
400 Medley Relay (if I'm swimming in it)
Saturday:
200 Free Relay (if everyone's on, it should be close...)
100 Free (under 49 ... for crying out loud!)
50 Fly (eh, I always go the same time)
50 Free (not sure why i'm swimming this ... maybe it's hope)
400 Free Relay (i love swimming this relay ...)
Sunday:
200 Medley Relay (we should nail it this time)
200 Free (smooth, controlled, strong ...)
100 Fly (not sure why i'm swimming this either)
100 Free Relay (another year of being jealous of the B relay, haha)
Nationals (they screwed this meet up by only allowing 2 events per day ... blah!)
Saturday:
200 Medley Relay
500 Free (i would LOVE to hold 30s the whole way)
25 Free (I vunder vut I'll go)
100 Back (it's about time I swam this thing for real)
400 Free Relay
Sunday:
400 Medley Relay (we should nail it this time)
100 Free (last chance to get the time this season)

200 Free Relay (another year of being jealous of the B relay, haha)
School isn't going well. I'll be very lucky to make it out of this semester with all my credit hours counting. That's why all this journal's reader(s) ever get is Swimming Updates- nothing else is flattering! lol
I'll be in the hotel room studying for Financial R&P and Business Taxation for a solid portion of my training trip.
Not how I'd like it to be, but necessary as hell!
