Need new goggles - mine only have two settings - bathing my eyes in chlorine or cutting off my cerebral blood flow. And sometimes both at once.
Also learned that swimming the day after going on the rower = dead arms!0 -
@emmab0902 You should try swimming after a HM = dead legs = No kick, and as a Male recreational swimmer I only have 40-60% of the kick power/technique that ladies have so get the float fins out to save the day. Goggle trouble is always frustrating. It took me 3 years to find a replacement, the manufacture discontinued the model I was using and I was grumpy.

First swim of this coins trip last night.
More people doing front crawl.
Actually had the lane to myself for about 10 minutes.
It would still be nice if the life guards kept slow people out if the one "fast" lane.
Kept lapping a breast stroker in less than 2 laps.

Well remember I am doing similar intervals but doing yards not meters so a bit easier.

5000 yards @ 1 hour 39 minutes
Favorite set 10 x 100 free @ 1:50 (1:32, 1:32, 1:33, 1:32, 1:31, 1:31, 1:30, 1:30, 1:29, 1:28). I am in better shape than I realized and need to push for a bit more. *little happy dance*3 -
4 miles last night.
Actually had the kame to myself for almost an hour. Then most of the kame sharing time was with front crawl swimmers.
Still a couple slowskis in the fat lane that we had to swim around.
Only 3 more weeks of this

Headed there after work and I can't wait... My new goggles came in the mail. I ordered two pair, and threw out three pair that I had been carrying around, "just in case." I also got my new swim caps with extra room at the ears for my earbuds. My Speedo cap is so tight (and I have a ton of hair) that it will pull up on my earbuds and let water in. Best of all, my lap counter came too! Now I don't have to stop to move a fin, water bottle or whatever.
"Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming!"3 -
5000 yards @ 1 hour and 40 minutes - people talk to me...what is that about?
10 x 100 @ 1:50 descending 1-5, 6-10. I love it when a plan comes together.

I was already suited up and ready to jump in when they closed the pool for lightening. the INDOOR pool. Has anyone else had this happen? grrrrr. . ..1
-
Ugh, I hate that. Our indoor pools at all the Y's close during lightening too.0
-
That is odd so I went looking for why and I found this.

but then I found this: http://www.sportrisk.com/2011/08/the-myth-around-closing-indoor-pools-when-theres-lightning/
The facts seem to support the latter but I am not an expert.0 -

Yup.
One time after doing just one lap. Another time at lap 99 of planned 100. Sux.
Insurance companies make them do it.0 -
4 miles last night. Had the lane to myself for quite a bit if the time. Pushed myself as if I were trying to catch the guy in the next lane even though there wasn't anyone there. Felt the muscles more too.
Last 21 laps as a warm down.2 -
@MonkeyMel21 Nice Ladder set, especially including breast and back. I have always enjoyed them.
@rosebarnalice Mental picture of you rehearsing your lines and swimming lengths. I would probably end up swimming into an end wall at speed if I tried anything like that.
I have never heard of an In-Door pool closing for Lighting.
@Montepulciano 10 x 100 on a tight pace, a slight neg split and 20 secs rest- impressive.
@fishgutzy Nice that you are getting some good distances in and that the lane swimmers seem to be getting more in-sync with national stds. There will always be the slow pokes in the wrong lane no matter where ever we go. Only 3 more weeks of enjoying your new archery friends.
@girlwithcurls Woo Hoo new gear - you are all set for new achievements.
Went to our pool at noon, the outside Temperature had dropped from -10C at 9am to -25C at noon with a nasty North wind that caused the Environmental control system ( bldg heating ) and Water Temp controllers to think that it was cold inside the building and that the water was cold, so the building air temp was at 30C ( 86F ) and the water temperature was probably the same. When you jump in the pool and it feels like a Hot Tub you know its going to be a bad swim day. Managed 30 lengths of mixed strokes at a super slow pace, in 5 length blocks. Free, Back, Breast x 2. The pool was actually crowded for about 15 mins then everyone bailed because of the Heat.2 -
Only 5km last night. I guess I was still recovering from the push the night before.
Tentative plan is for a test night tonight. That means I'll spend at last an hour in the weight room 1 -
4500 yards @ 85 minutes - got through it.
@juliet3455 - That is just cold. And I would imagine that 30C feels extra warm with temps like that outside. Brrrr.0
