250m relaxed front crawl
250m breathing drills to 13
100m sprint (1:37)
50m relaxed
100m sprint (1:35)
then circuits - just 175m in that. A lot of breathing work with the brick and swimming underwater.
Instructor challenged me to try a length and a half (37.5m) and I wimped out (
) about 1 stroke away from it. So now the goal is 2 lengths (50m) underwater

Missed swimming on Tuesday - we got more than a foot of snow on Monday and I set my alarm for a half an hour earlier to shovel. Yeah no, it took more than an hour to dig out the front of my house. Took another hour to dig out my driveway after work, and I still have another hour to dig out between the house and the garage. It's a workout, although not the work out I necessarily want.
But, did get to the pool today.
1000m free before the masters workout
And then I don't really remember the specifics of the masters workout, except there were build sets.

swam length and a half underwater (37.5m), think it may have been even over that as I am sure I was just 4 strokes away from the end of 2 lengths. woohoo! mega happy with that! New mental block to break through now to get 50m 0 -
No swim for me today. Travelled to Wellington and what was supposed to be a 200 mile trip turned into much longer as we got half way in my daughters car which then overheated so had to turn back and keep filling up the radiator every 20 miles then swap to my car and start the journey all over again.
So my planned evening swim didn't happen as we didn't arrive until 9pm. Here for my first ever open water event on Sunday!0 -

Just a 600m swim in the sea - doing a 3.3km ocean swim tomorrow morning so just tested the waters so to speak - didn't even need a wetsuit. Look how clear the water is!
Feeling nervous about tomorrow - the first leg is 2km out to sea to turn around a lighthouse - it's so far out can barely see it from the shore!

Last night and this morning, same thing: laps for an hour, then class for an hour. This morning's swim was awesome. I'm not sure why because last night wore me out. I was really well hydrated though. And I had a small espresso before my swim this morning.
Emma, that water is beautiful. I have to admit, I can't see open water in my future. I can barely swim next to the high schoolers doing butterfly in the next lane 0 -
3.3km ocean swim event this morning (my first one ever!) Never swum that far before in my life! But I survived and even won my age group. Did it in 49.01 so can't complain.

@emmab0902 YEA Way to go.
Outside temp -28C . The pool was an absolute madhouse - everyone escaping the cold.
Lane swim at noon 4-6/lane and quite often would end up with a ball or toy from the adjacent kiddie wading pool magically appearing in the lanes. Just a simple up/down 1000m. No drills as there were just to many people coming and going to get any rhythm.0 -
