Friday Morning Short Swim

My body was up at 4:30am ready to go, but I figured another 30 minutes until the alarm went off would be helpful, especially given some sore knees from last night's run. At 5:40, I woke up again bewildered at why my 5am alarm didn't wake me. It looks like after carefully setting the alarm, I failed to turn it "on" the night before. I jumped out of bed and decided to get in as much workout as I could.

At Highlands Ranch Aquatic Center, the master's team has been swimming without a coach on M-W-F. I was late and only had 50 minutes so I just jumped in an open lap swim lane and swam my own set:
200 warm up
5 x 100 yds on 1:30 descending 1-5
5 x 100 yds on 1:20 descending 1-5
4 x 250 yds pull on 3:30
5 x 100 kick on 1:30
10 x 50 on :45 decending 1-5, 6-10
200 warm down
=3,400 yards (abt 2 miles)

Plans on Saturday call for a 5,000 yard intensive workout at Wollett Aquatic Center in Irvine and a 1.5 mile swim off Newport in the morning with Dave and a 50 mile bike ride around OC in the afternoon.
