It worked.
After sagging so badly Thursday, I took steps to increase my energy for my always prodigious Friday training.
I ate more Thursday night, and I slept more Thursday night, and I stayed in bed longer than normal Friday morning. Fridays are for long swimming. With the Chicot Challenge coming up, I am in need of distance, yards, meters, miles.
Usually I do the Friday thing as a straight swim. Not this time. I did something Thursday, or was it Wednesday? that inspired my Friday swim. I decided to do a series of long sets with some sprinting in between. What I wound up doing was
1,500 27:42 (1:50)
250 4:00 (1:36)
1,500 27:37 (1:50)
200 3:03 (1:30)
1,600 29:07 (1:48)
150 2:19 (1:32)
1,700 31:00 (1:49)
100 1:31
2,000 36:32 (1:49)
12 X 50 @ 1:12 with small paddles
total: 9,600 yards = 8,774 meters = 5.4 miles
Total swimming time = 2:53:01
I got a little tired. Mentally I was done. So I tapped out and went home.
