Fun emphasis day. Really, I play around for the 600 of the swim workout and then get into a more standard set, but this “fun” set helps break it up, and I have fun doing these sometimes silly sets. The main set is primarily a 1:30/100 base, except for the...

The first Monday of the month means butterfly. Sadly, I was tired and I could feel it. Yesterday, I swam 2 miles and then went out and cycled 22 miles. Apparently, while it might be good training, I felt it in the pool today. No speed, dying caterpillar butterfly, and...

The last Monday of the month is IM day. I wasn’t sure how it would go as Friday, when I tried to do some 25 sprint (hahaha) breaststroke, a muscle pulled a bit, so I backed off and didn’t swim breaststroke for the rest of the workout. It was a good choice...
