#swim training

I think I´m addicted to....water?!

So today I got up at 5.30am and went swimming for at least a little before school started…which I don´t usually do because I already get too little sleep…and it was raining on the way there and when I was walking to school it was even snowing/raining but I was still the happiest I´ve been this week.

We had a very long day at school today, but I found it quite managable this time and I think the morning swim is responsible for that.

I´m just really glad that something can make my day so much ♥ (though I´ve always thought that only love or drugs can make you feel this way, well guess swimming is enough for me 😁)

When you cannot breathe, and your face is going numb, these are not good things.

If at first you don't  succeed, maybe you need a rest day tomorrow

Certainty never got anyone anywhere. I prefer my chaos.

A Haiku by me. Because i didn’t know there wasn’t training this morning I went ahead and swam 1k on my own. Chaos seems to be working out.

'We're here as swimmers not tourists, get in that pool,' said coach wrathfully.

A haiku of what my coach legit said to me today.

Day 10

Let it be known, and heralded from the rooftops that Wednesday, July 12th, of the year 2017 was a day that did not suck during the 21 day training camp.

In the afternoon we swam:

1 x 200 freestyle warmup (always.)

3 sets of 4 x 100 freestyle increasing speed per 100 on an interval of 1:45 (this didn’t suck for me but it did suck for the faster kids who were pushed to go 1:05, 1:03, 1:02, then under a minute.)

10 x 100 IM on 1:40

20 x 25 specialty kick. sprint 25, easy 25

20 x 25 specialty pull (paddles but no pool buoy). The coach changed the last 25 to be a 50 sprint. That. Sucked. (but not a lot)

400 freestyle warm down.

A grand total of: 3.8k

But that also means that I did roughly 7.7k total today. Hopefully the fact that I still exist means that there has been... PROGRESS. fuck yes.
