2000 meter swim (two more to go this year) followed by a hilly 2.4 mile walk.
And those hills; the downhill sections set me off…a little…basically the downhills are to me now the way 2+ miles were to me in May or June; tolerable but there are definite symptoms.
I can’t seem to attain a posture that helps.
The swim: very drill heavy, and I actually had a couple of decent 100 meter back stroke reps (stayed straight enough to not hit the lane lines on my second rep.)
500 of 100 side, 100 back
300 drill/swim (fins)
200 in 4:05 (LMAO…good Lord, I didn’t think I was THAT slow, but..I was loafing)
300 drill/swim (fins)
200 in 3:57 (more like it..but it was an effort)
100 drill/swim
100 in 1:57
100 drill/swim
4 x 50 on short rest, trying to streamline and not go too hard. 1:01, 1:02, 1:01, 58 (last rep felt really good)
Then came my walk and the first 1.2-1.3 (uphill) sections felt ok.
Possible: I was slow because the swim, as wimpy as it was, took something out of me.
