Workout #1 was a lunch swim. It wasn't long, but it was very goal oriented. The goal was to swim this weekend's .6 mile swim (1050 yards) continuous at a race effort to get an approximate time.
We did:
500 WU
5 x 100 hold
100 easy
1050 TT
50 CD
--------
2200 yards total
I held between 1:31 and 1:34 for the 5 x 100. Finally some numbers I like to see and haven't seen seriously since around New Orleans 4 weeks ago. Ouch! Glad to be back :)
The 1050 TT hurt from the start because I was wiped from the 5 x 100. But I held on and finished at the same intensity. Went 17:25 for a 1:40 pace. I hope to match this or beat it come Saturday. I still remember two years ago breaking 20 mins for an 800 TT was a HUGE accomplishment! haha!
So I was pumped coming out of the pool.
After work, it was time to ride. I brought out the S2 for the first time in probably two weeks. Oh man how I missed this bike! I did a 25 mile hilly route that I loooooved to do last season but for some reason never found the opportunity to actually do it this year. My S2 never let me down and I bunny hopped up the hills! It was great.
Finally, I'll leave you on a pure awesome note. Enjoy!
I think I found my next Halloween costume! :)
Fer sure playing that for my kids when they wake up this morning!
