In the pool 4 times this week. 2 Adult Swim Club and 2 Lane sessions.
Did stuff - didn't record it at the time so rather jumbled.
Adult swim club last session was Kickopoulus - 100m in warmup followed by 600m in the main session mixed in with a few 100m crawl sets to work the kick into the crawl. Then a 1000m pyramid odd multiples were all crawl - even multiples were Bk or Br. ie 2Fc, 50 Br, 75Fc, 100Bk etc. Well wooped after that2 -

6.6km last night. Had one day 2.2km set because I was "racing" some young swimmers. Place for the set was 2:02/100M. Not competitive. But fast for me.
2.2km swim before work today. 6.6km planned for after work.2 -
1600m today. Was midway through a backstroke set when I felt (and heard) a loud click in my elbow, and that was the end of my backstroke. Not ideal when I start the Australasian Police and Emergency Services Games tomorrow. Hoping it's not my fraying bicep tendon about to finally pop!!!

4 x 50 fr swim at about 80% on 1.15

2.2km morning swim. 6.6km coming after work.
Looked at Garmin Connect and discovered that I set a new total distance record for the month of October. 104 miles.
I also realized that there were two periods early in the year when I couldn't swim in China. Bummer. That throws off my 12 month total.0 -

Emma, WOW! Congratulations on the medals! How's your elbow holding up?
Gutzy, that's a helluva distance for ONE MONTH. Holy smokes. I get excited when I get a 2-mile day in and can boost my week...
All of your collective swims have kept me going all these years. I told my husband this week that I finally feel like a proper swimmer. For a long time, there were some psychological barriers that I had to get through each and every day I went to swim: not feeling like going because I'm not a good swimmer, so it's a lot of energy to try to get better, how many people are already in the lane when I arrive, how fast are they, can I fit in if we have to circle, what if I have to circle and I'm not even warmed up yet (then I'm slower), can I get through my entire plan, or will I peter out...???
Now, I just go. Head straight to the locker room (don't even check so see how crowded the lanes are because I can confidently jump in and get started), and now I wonder if I'll do just my planned workout, or will it feel good enough to keep going and get some extra laps in
Really folks, coming here has been a huge part of my staying committed and continuing to try to improve. I'm headed into this winter in a totally different "swim mindset" than I have ever been. In my entire life. I'm a proper swimmer!

Informed us that due to Schools Scheduling the pool in December there would be no Adult swim Club so it will have to be self motivated/scheduled. I sort of expected it as they did a week last year and the schools liked it and students wanted more.1 -
