Got a swim in today, finally! I threw in some sprint 50's and I was taken by surprise by how much I was 'sucking wind'. 5 days off really hampered my swimming.0

Was moving along at a PB pace for 3/4 of the swim (having eliminated rests), then slowed down considerably in the last quarter! Had been hoping for a 51-52 ish!0 -

I need to do the MS_J1 workout again!mpeters1965 wrote: »1950 yds, just under an hour. I did Ms. J's workout again. Felt good!
Good stuff! And indeed the planned workouts break the monotony and are a good challenge!girlwithcurls2 wrote: »MsJ's workout and then aquafitness class. I can feel it, but it all felt good. I'm getting better with my bilateral breathing too, largely due to MsJ's "making me do it." It is a total switch for me to head to the pool with a planned workout. I am more motivated and I get on task faster.
That is the weird thing I find about swimming. A few days off, and once back in the pool, my breathing is ragged!panhandle8 wrote: »Got a swim in today, finally! I threw in some sprint 50's and I was taken by surprise by how much I was 'sucking wind'. 5 days off really hampered my swimming.

1800yds mixed swimming, kicking, pulling and drills. A beautiful morning out at the pool. I really love starting to swim when it's dark and finishing when the sun is coming up.0

IK earlier in the week, a mile yesterday - not at speed (dodgems with the leisure swimmers for too much of it, when the fitness lane not in place).
A question - how much do you speedos think about pulling hard each stroke? I think a fair bit about stike style, and it is pretty good, but I do wonder if I shoukd simply be putting more effort into each pull and simply working a bit harder... (And. When I do sprints I tend to think about kicking hard, rather than pulling hard...)0 -

Open water swim to practice with my kayaker:
Outdoor Temp: 67F
Estimated water temp: 57F (according to http://www.fishingnotes.com/fishing-report/nh/Mascoma-Lake. I don't think it was that cold as I wasn't really uncomfortable)
Wind speed: 10MPH
Distance: Not sure. I was swimming in East Nowhere, New England and GPS is spotty enough it kept blinking out. Between 400-550 yards.
Time: 22 minutes.

Open Water Swim - Great Work Noel. The water here where I live is way to cold to even attempt.NoelFigart1 wrote: »Open water swim to practice with my kayaker:

Stephen you have come along way from where you started. Love the way you are stepping out of the " Comfort zone " that we seem to trap ourselves in and try different workouts - tai chi - good on you.stephenrhinton wrote: »62 minutes ...i think im gonna try a tai chi class tomorrow ...
No swim today Pool opening delayed due to a problem in the pump room overnight, fancy way for them to say they had an ops last night with the chemical balances. Snuck in a 5 km run 33 minutes.0 -
If you don't mind my asking, Juliet, where do you live?0
