Woke up late and could only squeeze in a quick 2-mile run and PUC workout #3 before work (yes, I am behind on my push up challenge workouts).
Tonight, swam a great 2050 workout:
2x(500 swim, 200 kick), 4x100 moderate w/ 20 sec rest, 250 cool down
Adding to the workout, they had pulled the lane lines out of the section of the pool where we were swimming, so there were 15 lanes of open water. With all the swimmers, this makes the water really rough, which sucks but is great training for ocean swimming. Half the time you try to breathe you get a mouthful of water, every few stokes your reach gets cut short because your hand plows into a wave, and the water is moving around so much that you never really feel like you get into a good streamlined rhythm (and with all that, it's still not as tough as an ocean swim because you still have a line to follow on the bottom of the pool and the boost of flip turns every 25). I was also satisfied with the swim because I haven't done a swim workout that long in at least 4 or 5 years, back when Kyle and I would swim in DC. So, yay!
