Long Time No See

Yep, it's me again. We didn't swim for a long time, a few reasons but you might not be interested. I was in Redmond, WA (almost for a week) and then... a lot of work, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I hope to catch up with 5-6 pool visits per 2 weeks.

Ok, let's back to the topic. 6:30 PM, Friday evening. Temperature is pretty chilling outside, I think it's about 70-75 F outside. Water is 81 F. After almost a week and a half of skipped swimming water seems to be like a sirup to dive into.. Anyway, I can be proud of myself - a regular program is completed:

25 meters warm up
10 x 50 meters swim on approximately 2 minute interval
5 x 50 kicking
2 x 100 meters swim on the 4 minute interval
2 x 150 meters (to catch up to 500 :-)
3 x 25 meters backstroke swim (in between)

So, total for today is more then 90 minutes and 1350 meters.

See you next week.

Back on track :-)

So, today we are back to our original program. Which is:

25 meters warm up
10 x 50 meters swim on approximately 2 minute interval
5 x 50 kicking
2 x 100 meters swim on the 4 minute interval
2 x 150 meters (to catch up to 500 :-)
3 x 25 meters backstroke swim (in between)

So, total for today is almost 85 minutes and 1350 meters.

See you next week.

Wednesday night at Eagle pool (welcome back!)

Ok, welcome back to Eagle Pool at Mountain View. Welcome back to metric system :-) With just a 45 minutes to work out Andrey was able to finish 1st and 3rd parts of usual program.

25 meters warm up
10 x 50 meters swim on approximately 1 and a half of a minute interval (tight schedule!)
1 x 200 meters swim (just to give it a try)
2 x 100 meters swim on the 4 minute interval
25 meters backstroke kick

So, total for today is 950 meters.

See you on Friday.

Friday night at Rinconada

And again, as well as on Wednesday, we met at Rinconada Pool at 7 pm.

Our regular program took about 1 hour and 20 minutes and was as follows:

- 10 x 50 yards on approx 2 minutes interval
- 10 x 25 kicking (it was hard as usual :-)
- 5 x 100

Total 1250 yards which yields approximately 1200 meters.

Temporary pool change - Rinconada @ Palo Alto

Today we swemt at Rinconada pool Palo Alto (Eagle pool is closed this week). The only difference that Rinconada is 25 yards (not meters) which gaves me about 4 meters less to swim for regular 50 and about 9 meters economy on 100s.

Our regular program took about 1 hour and 20 minutes and was as follows:

- 10 x 50 yards on approx 2 minutes interval
- 10 x 25 kicking (it was hard as usual :-)
- 5 x 100 and
- 2 x 25 backstroke/underwater drills

Total 1300 yards which yields approximately 1200 meters.

That's it for today, see you on Friday.

Eagle pool @ Saturday morning

10 am at the Saturday morning was a pretty chilling moment to jump into water.

As to the program - as usual - 1300 Meters of swimming per about 1 hour and 30 minutes. 10 x 50 freestyle, 10 x 25 kicking and 5 x 100 freestyle. Plus, a small addition of 25 meters of backstroke and 25 meters of some interesting drills :-)

So, that's it for today.
