AM- Yep you read right 1000!! I am not sure if I have done that much before. Because its so hard for me to keep track of that and everything else. But today we went earlier for say. And did a set workout which of course means we would know just how far we went. Kind of trying a new training program for say. That has you doing sets instead of just time. So it was a warmup for 300, 10 x 50 and then 200 cooldown. WOW!! That would mean I would need to swim a full lap. I think in the tri I did I only did that once on the 400. So I was suppost to do 50 then 10-15 sec break. Hmm yeah well it was a bit longer then that. First one went off ok. I think that one I made it back all the way. 2nd one nope had change out of freestyle. 3-7 were really struggles. 5-7 I actually had to stop at about 40 yds. Well I dont know if I had to but ended up stopping wondering what the heck was going on. Did some back strokes to get the last 5 or so. Then my wife gave me some great encouragement. And said something like trust your ability to swim or something like that. So I realized I wasn't rotating with my core as much. So I changed that up to rotating my body more. Which of course makes it much easier to move plus is effortless power from just rotating. And I noticed also the turn around. When I would push off it would throw off my rythem and I speed up or something. And that would mess up my 2nd 25. So with rotating my core more I was able to breath much easier and I MADE IT!! 8 I made it all the way. A bit out of breath but I did it. 9 and 10th were even better. Sure out of breath but I DID IT!! For my last 200 I did 150 with fins. Doing more core rotation and WOW!! I was flying. And it was effortless and right on top of the water. I will have to really work on that part of my swimming. Its great to have a great training partner there to help when I needed it most.
