Saturday Morning started with a Coached Workout at the Wollett Aquatic Center in Irvine. Coach Ahelee had Dave and I concentrate on freestyle instead of butterfly improvement. The workout was:
200 warmup
600 EZ swim, every 4th length fly
500 pull on 1:10 pace
500 swim on 1:15 pace
400 pull on 1:10 pace
400 swim on 1:15 pace
300 pull on 1:10 pace
300 swim on 1:15 pace
200 pull on 1:10 pace
200 swim on 1:15 pace
400 IM kick
50, 100, 150, 200, 150, 100, 50 ladder on :40 per 50 interval
200 warm down
=5,000 yards
I have a little ritual I've doing for 6 months now: during warm down after each swim practice, I do 2 25 yard no-breathers on 30 seconds. It's a final mind over body thing. The high altitude training during the week must be having an effect because I did a third length after the first 2 because I felt like I was hardly out of breath.
My family needed my time more than my bike, so I took my son out for some rock climbing in the afternoon. Sam conquered every climb in the gym after 2 1/2 hours of nearly constant work. It included a couple of routes that had him pretty frustrated, but he didn't give up. I am so proud of him. As a parent, when you see your child exhibit perserverance and determination in accomplishing a goal they set for themselves, it is great. Sam also received his black/red belt in Tae Kwon Do this week with a devasting tornado kick to break a board at head level. Good job Sam!
