Fast Twitch -- Week 5 (Monday, April 9)
Monday p.m. long course
600 warmup
8x50 fly
Odd: kick on back on 1:15
Even: drill on 1:00
300 flutter kick on back with Zoomers: 200 relaxed, 100 moderate
3x200 :40 rest
25 fly/25 free
10x50 back on 1:00
1-4: slightly slower than 200 pace (averaged :39)
5: easy
6-9: at least two seconds faster than first round (:36, :37, :36, :36)
10: easy
200 easy
-----------------
I felt like dead weight today. It was like dragging a sack of wet potatoes behind me.
I will never do the 3x200s again. If I ever needed proof that I shouldn't be racing butterfly outside of an IM race, that set was it. But I'm still doing the 100 fly at nationals. I already signed up. Too late to turn back now. All I can hope for is that they don't allow us to swim the sixth event, which is the 100 fly for me.
And I found out what meet Ryk Neethling was preparing for last week. South Africa is having its nationals this week, and I guess he came back to Tucson for a day or two before heading back to the southern hemisphere. There's a lot more to this, but I'll guide you to my thoughts on the US Masters Web site instead of leaving them here.
