first water, not energetic
I must be spent from the last 2 mornings of swimming. Getting out of bed today was easy and everything was coming together for what I expected would be a great session in the pool. Wrong. Energy was low, my left shoulder hurt, and I just could not get things moving. The previous 2 days’… Continue reading first water, not energetic

Swam with Bridget at Los Banos this morning. And she made it hurt. I don’t think she understands why I suck so bad. I was struggling. STRUGGLING. Panting like a dog. Not that that’s unusual. It was just especially bad this morning. Long course is killing me. Gotta be good though. da numbers: 100m free… Continue reading first water

Los Banos in the morning. Not the same, smoking fast crowd as last night but most were still faster than patrons of the other local pools. Being around a better clientele is good for me, I think. This long course thing kills me. I dropped the distance way down and focused on 100s. da numbers… Continue reading first water

Good times at the Carpenteria Community Pool. I don’t know what it is about that pool exactly that makes me really like swimming there. My main set was 10 x 100yd on 1:50. This is faster than I’ve been going for a 1000yd set. A couple weeks ago, 10 x 100yd on 2:00 felt hard.… Continue reading first water

The GVAC pool is not especially fast. In fact, it may be the slowest pool I’ve ever swam in. Maybe this is because it’s 3.5 deep the entire length, or because it’s cold or the lanes are narrow. Whatever, it’s slow and it sucks. And this morning’s pool session was brutal.da numbers: 2 x 100… Continue reading first water
