Did you swim today?

I swim with my local Masters group on MWF. On Monday, the coach gave us a set of 10 x 50m with fins and paddles on 0:50. Today, she took away the fins with the same time. I suspect she will take away the paddles on Friday. She assigned this set today just after a 400m IM followed by a 600 pull set. I think she's trying to kill me.1

A fine 40 minutes of this, that and the other.
Backstroke is the current labor of love. Between trying to look at the ceiling directly above my head, a narrow kick, rotating more than my usual timid amount & keeping the elbows from dropping, I've forgotten to breathe often!
We raced our six seat outrigger canoe Saturday. Breathe whenever and as often as we want! We improved on our best time by two minutes--fit yeah! (Maybe a little tidal current, too!)0 -
40 minutes before class. Not too tough, but got the ticket going 👍0

2250 after lifting. I was going to go back for more today. Maybe, maybe not. I have a run on Sunday and then a 10K next Wednesday.0

super speedy guy in the lane so I had a few more pauses to let him past.
less speedy guy swims up during a rest and pretty much sprays water from his mouth into my face before asking me how many strokes I do per length.
thanks mate! needed that! bleh0 -
The view when I walked in the pool this morning.

Terrible start to July. Super busy with work and out of town for two days. My planned swim last night was scuttled by an episode of my heart arrhythmia so today was my first swim this month.

15x 100 on 1.45 as alt swim/pull/kick fins

Swimming was always a struggle for me up to even now. Having a coach dole out tips every Monday brings an appreciation of the sport I'd never have on my own. I've been told hundreds of times to rotate more--I might finally be doing that, a little. Thanks, Coach!
Today's drills: I focused on rotation.
On my own: some fly drills focused on a more intimate relationship with the water surface.

30 minutes was all the time I had. And let me tell you, I was SO unmotivated. 🙄 But I went, and it felt great. There is almost never a correlation between my motivation and the quality of my workout.0

40 minutes! It felt like returning to the womb after 5 days dry (*x* for showers 🙃).
Saturday and Sunday, during much of the Seattle to Portland bike ride, I metered my breathing to mimic butterfly breathing: kick the hands in, kick the hands out, suck in a big breath and repeat!
Cheers!1 -
Another short swim after lifting. I'm not sure where my motivation is going. I suppose going home and sitting in the sun with a gin and tonic is more appealing. It won't help me reach my goals though, so I swim...0

4km today. The sets were long and involved. Not gonna break it down, but I'm liable to nap it out in my chair at work today.1

Finally, a swim. Not long, but I was there, doing it lap by lap 👍0
