Swim Terror Resumed

End of the break. Swim class terror resumed tonight. The first 30min was a culture shock to my system, which had laid off heavy cardio for the past weeks. We did some drills and started swimming.

Coach, in all his wisdom, made us swim 100s the entire night, to re-accustomed us to the rigour of swimming.

Lane 1- 6x 100m @ 3:00 + 50m - 2:21, 2:21, 2:20, 2:16, 2:18, 2:21, 1:12

I felt like my heart was going to fly out of my mouth, and that class should end then.... :(

Then Coach: The next set would be faster.
(You mean it was not fast just now?)

7x 100m @ 2:45 - 2:10 (die, too fast), 2:17, 2:18, 2:21, 2:23, 2:26, 2:24, 2:29

Another 6x 100m @ 3:00 + 50m - 2:31, 2:31, 2:32, 2:33, 2:34, 1:18

Chill 2 laps - 1:08, 1:17

Killer - 8x 50m sprints - 1:01, 1:05, 1:03, 1:09, 1:07, 1:10, 1:12, 1:04


I could not recall the last time my HRM went up so much in the pool - it had been a while. Off for a herbal chicken dinner. Hard-earned!
