@emmab0902 Is that the same shoulder/arm you hurt last year??
Sending you a virtual hug and healing vibes.
Any athlete no matter what the sport suffers mentally when injured.
@UmmSqueaky Nice set and distance. Always love adding in a ladder set, nice touch alternating the stroke.
One of our Adult Club coach's had us do a 3 stroke ladder/distance. ie 25m back, free & breast 50m Bk, Fr & Br.
The distance piles on in a hurry when you do a set like that.
Adult Swim Club 1450m Relatively short distance - but so much Backstroke kick that it slowed everyone down
200m Warm up - 100 free, 50 kick, 50 scull
Backstroke set; 10 secRI
3 x 50 Streamline kick
3 x 50 Half Preacher
2 x 50 Full Preacher ( was supposed to be x3 but ran into time crunch ie slowpoke)
2 x 50 Catch-up ( was supposed to be x3 but ran into time crunch ie slowpoke)
200m Back
200m IM ( first 25 of fly not bad, 2nd 25 not good, it's like I turn and my timing falls apart )
Suicides; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 = 150m
200m Cool down choice0 -
Just the usual here. My regular distance is finally a mile and a quarter. “Long” days are just short of two miles. No time for more. I need the cardio class to be part of my plan to climb that volcano in August.0
-
@juliet3455 no its my "good" shoulder!
What are half preacher and preacher? Is it when you are praying for the set to be over
And dare I ask what suicides are?!0 -
@emmab0902 Sucks with the shoulder.
Half preacher - Back kick with your hands together like you are praying, elbows in the water hands above water.
Preacher - hands held as high out of the water as you can - straight up for those with a really strong kick since the extra weight causes your head-torso to submarine. Yes you drink water and pray for it to end.
Suicides - like they do on dryland training; running/gym /football workouts etc;
run to a marker, turn and return to start, turn and run to the next marker, turn and return to start.
Picture it done in a pool swimming. 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 25m. So lots of turns in open water and start-accelerate with no wall to pushoff.0 -
Just a short 2150m this morning.

yay finally back to pool after holiday
1600m
750m front crawl
250m with hand paddles
350m breathing drills up to 17
250m mix breaststroke and front crawl
wasn't as bad as I was expecting, I think keeping the running going over the break helped general endurance. Now hopefully getting back into swimming will help with the stitch I sometimes get during running. It's all a great big happy exercise circle lol 1 -
2900m
1000m before masters swim
200m kick
3x100m fast free
4x100m odd IM/even fast free
2x200m choice strong (surpise surprise I chose to do free)
1x400m free DPS
100m cooldown
I started StrongLifts a week and a half ago, and I'm not sure if my legs actually are feeling heavier and thus I'm slower, or if I'm expecting them to feel heavier and thus psychosomatically I'm slower. Since I do lots of lower body cardio (running and biking), I'm not planning on adding as much weight to the squats, and instead focusing on upper body stuff as I progress in it, which should hopefully help my swim.0 -

I only had time for a mile today before class, but I decided to see if my time has improved. I went from slower to just slow
. I took 5 minutes (almost exactly) off my mile. The "old" lady in the lane next to me (in her 70s?) was slow and steady, but still faster than I am. I love seeing her at the pool. She flip turns and all. I want to be her in my 70s...
YoSlam, that is one helluva long swim! We have some serious distance people here! And then there's the speed group... Thanks for always having room for those of us who don't really fall into either group!

A mere 1200m today. Tomorrow is the final ocean swim of the series. And the location is currently being smashed with a storm so it's not going to be fun tomorrow. Had a look today and nearly felt seasick just looking at the roughness!0
-
Emma, I used to think that an ocean swim might be in my (albeit distant) future, but I cannot imagine making any forward progress with the tide and current. Add in some choppiness, and I'd probably be tossed back onto the beach! Good luck! We know you can do it!0

Did the 2.5km ocean swim yesterday. Was horrendously rough - big swells and lots of chop which was not fun! At one point I ended up nearly flipped onto my back it was so rough! Did 38.09 which I was happy with under the conditions. Won my age group and ended up with the gold for the overall series so am happy.1
