Monday

I started the week with a bang. I banged out a good practice first thing. I swam

2,050 39:17 (1:54)
6 X 200 @3:53
300 medium paddles
total: 3,550 yards = 3,244 meters

I felt that set of 200s, especially the final one. Now that I am doing some quality swimming, I am realizing how out of shape I am for it. I have the low end endurance, but when the pace picks up, things begin to hurt.

In the afternoon, I went out for my long run of the week. Since I am racing Saturday, this is a taper week, a step back cycle. Everything will be downhill from here on. I did 11.06 miles. Then I took nutrition, rested a bit, and went to Plate City for bench day. I pressed

12 X 95
6 X 115
5 X 135
5 X 135
5 X 135
5 X 135
5 X 135

Overhead Dumbbell Press

8 X 25
4 X 30
1 X 35

Triceps push down

30 X 32.5
20 X 37.5
16 X 42.5

That was one good day of training. Thank you, Jesus.
