Back in the Pool, Back in the Snow

The weekend in Orange County was fun and busy with family visiting from out of town and lots of meetings, events, errands and food. The only downside was that I was unable to workout on Friday or Saturday.

Monday mornings involve early morning travel to Denver, so it was another day out of the water. But out of the water it was a nice 77 degree afternoon followed an overnight light snow?! When I got back in the pool this morning, I expected to be sluggish, but I actually found myself with lots of energy .(?) Maybe a good rest every once in a while is good for us old men.

Coach Susan Williams called the set, which I did join a few minutes into the warm-up swim:
Warm-up Set
300 swim - 100 kick - 300 pull
200 swim - 100 kick - 200 pull (as little faster)

Repeat 6 Times:
