I’m a little late in posting my recap from last week, but deal with it 🙂
Signing up for Masters Swimming a few months ago is proving to be a great decision. For years, I heard that the best way to improve in the water but I didn’t have the motivation to follow through and my swim splits suffered for it. Now, I am consistently going to Masters workouts 2-3 times per week and my yardage is gradually building. I swam 9,000 yards in the pool this week and felt like I could’ve gone farther. For me, this is monumental progress. Perhaps, I won’t drown in Lake Coeur d’Alene after all!
Saturday, my coach had us ride hill repeats. It was painful, but I need to become a stronger climber.

Great week of workouts!
Thanks!
That’s a lot of swimming! Is that a typical week for you in amount of training for swim/bike/run?
My Ironman is still 4 months away so I’m just starting to build my training volume. My coach said I’ll eventually have back-to-back 80 mile rides on Saturday and Sunday. So relatively speaking, this was an easy week. I’m starting to think signing up for an Ironman was a stupid idea 😉
Of course it wasn’t a stupid idea, just signing up for an Ironman earns you the YOU ARE SO COOL title, immediately. 🙂 Oh yeah I bet the training sucks.
