5 x 100 meter swims

Mon 4/30
- Combo:
Run :15

Strike 2 for the week.
Tue 5/1
- Swim #8
5 x 100 meter swims
w/ 10 seconds rest between 100s
I managed to force myself to go do this (motivation pretty low lately). I had to do a backstroke lap in the last leg of the first couple laps. Also, I think I did 6 100s instead of 5 (or 5 1/2... I keep losing count in the middle). Was dragging my legs for most of this, and pretty tired after... but at least I got back in the game.
Wed 5/2
- Brick:
Bike :15
Run :15
w/ 30 second accels
Yarp. I did this at the gym right after I went to see Hot Fuzz at the movies (which was pretty funny). I did a couple accels of 15 seconds on the bike... didn't do any while running.
Thu 5/3
- Bike 1:00
Rode the exercise bike for 1:00 total after Fox was in bed. Tension #4.

4/22 - 4/28
Sun 4/22
- Swim #7
5 x 100 meter laps
20 second rests between 100s
Did this one pretty early on sunday afternoon. Was tough to make the whole 100 meters without stopping, and I did 2 backstroke legs (one in the second lap and one in the fourth).
Mon 4/23
- Combo:
Run :25
Bike :20
I skipped this. Weather has still been weird, and when I couldn't go do this outside (or was too wimpy to), I just ended up losing all motivation and skipping.
Tue 4/24
- Swim #7
5 x 100 meter laps
20 second rests between 100s
Well, I did go to the pool, and I traveled the correct distance, but I wouldn't call it swimming. I was insta-tired at the first 25m, and couldn't force myself through it. So I just messed around, swimming some, backstroke some... walking in the water some. I did a few real 25s during the time, and I ended on trying to see how fast I could swim 25 meters (which was 19 seconds.... no idea if thats good or not). I "swam" for about 25 minutes total.
Wed 4/25
- Brick:
Bike :25
Run :20

Did this with Fox in the trailer. I didn't do any accels, and the run was mostly walking, but I did about the right amount of time.

4/15 - 4/21
Sun 4/15
- Swim #6
8 x 75 meters
10 second rests between 75s
Got this out of the way early today. 10 second rests was pretty rough. I kept getting tired out in the middle of laps. I did one backstroke length at the start of the 4th lap. Took me around 16-17 minutes.
Mon 4/16
- Combo:
Run :20
Bike :25
Ran at the gym for 20 minutes... 5.5 mph and for the last 10 I used a 1 degree incline (better than nothing). Rode the exercise bike at home for 25 minutes a bit later.
Tue 4/17
- Swim #6
8 x 75 meters
10 second rests between 75s
Was pretty tired before even starting this one. I ended up doing 4 backstroke lengths (1 every 2 laps). Took me 17 minutes and I was beat.
Wed 4/18
- Brick:
Bike :30
Run :15
w/ 30 second accels
First brick.... and ouch! I went to the gym again for this. I did 6 30 second bursts during the bike, and 4 during the run. The run was very difficult after riding the bike (I was cramping up and exhausted), but I still managed to stay at my slow 5.5 mph pace, with bursts up to 6.5 mph. I think I need to stop going to the gym so much, and get back outside when possible... I need to be practicing on the real bike, and on my real feet.
Thu 4/19
- Bike 1:15
Rode the exercise bike.... this was a long time. Used #4 tension.
Fri 4/20
- Off
Wanted to take Fox for a ride, but was still a bit windy out.... then I was going to ride the exercise bike, but never did it. Only exercise for the day was a good old game of "chase daddy".
Sat 4/21
- Off
Went for a ride with Fox in the trailer. We rode for about 10 minutes, then went down to Bushmaster park for a bit. With the ride home was probably 20 minutes of real riding.

Sun 4/8
- Swim #5
8 x 75 meters
20 second rests between 75s
Did it. Took around 19 minutes to do the 8 laps, I did backstroke for the first 25 of laps 4 and 7.
Mon 4/9
- Combo:
Run :15
Bike :30
Headed to the gym, but I forgot to check what I was supposed to do first. So I guessed that it was run 20 / bike 30, so thats what I did. Again, running wears me out, and the bike was pretty slow.
Tue 4/10
- Swim #5
8 x 75 meters
20 second rests between 75s
Took about 18 minutes this time. I did only one 25m backstroke on the first leg of the 5th lap.
Wed 4/11
- Brick:

Started to do this, but it was really windy... and I got scared that Fox's trailer would be a sail and tip over. Rode for just 5 minutes or so.
Thu 4/12

Rode the exercise bike for 30 minutes and then another 30 mins later.... not the same, but eh, close enough.

4/1 - 4/7
Sun 4/1
- Swim #4
8 x 75 meter swims
resting 30 seconds between 75s
I went to the pool without really having a plan on what to do. I started off trying to do some of the Total Immersion drills, then doing some laps in the middle. I tried to do a 75 meter swim a couple times, but stopped early (before even 50m). I ended on a full 50m, and swam for about 16 minutes total.
I think I am going to just try to do the 75s Tuesday and forget about Total Immersion for now. The problem is that TI wants you to swim with as little effort as possible, but right now, I think I should be doing laps and thrashing around working hard so I will get in shape. TI makes a lot of sense, but I think for right now I'm going to just beat myself up with my current technique (working on breathing a bit though).
Mon 4/2
- Combo:
(Run :05 / Walk :01) x 3
Bike :30
Ran on the treadmill at the gym... yay for more variables to control. I ran on 0 incline, 5 minutes at 5 mph, then 1 minute at 2.5 mph, 5 at 5 mph, 1 at 2.5, then 5 at 6mph, and 1 at 2.5. Then I rode the exercise bike for 30 minutes on low tension. The run was work, I took it pretty easy on the bike.
Tue 4/3
- Swim #4
8 x 75 meter swims
resting 30 seconds between 75s
Did this after a little bit of warmup. I did only 2 25meter lengths of my weak backstroke (in the first leg of the 3rd and 6th 75s). Took about 19 minutes for the 75s, 25 minutes total with the warmup and cooldown (floating like an amorphous blob).
Wed 4/4
- Combo:
Run :15
Bike :30
Went to the gym and did this on the machines again. I ran at 5.5 mph, then rode the bike on a bit of tension. I was pretty tired after the run, and worse toward the end of the bike (was hard to keep going), but I made it.
Thu 4/5
