Dialing back expectations

First longer swim in a while. Right shoulder is still somewhat sore..not terrible but I need to remain careful. And there is no way I can compare this to a swimming workout of the “days of old”

I swam this 5K in 1:36 (winner was a university swimmer who swam it in 55 minutes; my age group was won in about 1:05 or so. Still, I was toward the back of the thick of the “bell curve”..not an isolated straggler.

I averaged 1:45 per 100 yard. Today: resting 15 seconds or so, I averaged..1:57. Just. Shoot. Me.

1650 yards:

200 free

200 drill (fins)

200 alternating pull/free (50)

200 drill (fins)

200 side/free

4 x 100 on the 2:15 (1:57 average)

200 drill (fins)

50 dolphin kick.

Weight: 201.
