Wow. This sucked. You know, in that awesome way.
Ran to Capitol, appx 14 minutes.
Then:
6x 400m on 90 sec rest. Luckily east Stanton - the block just after 3rd street, is just about .25 miles if you do the three sides. So that worked out.
Had to keep each time within 5 seconds.
Apparently, doing long slow distance for 5+ years is wokring against me for this stuff. This sucked, like, a lot. a LOT. I def wanted to throw up at multiple points.
This must be what Mike feels like when swimming.
Then ran home, nice and easy

Hey, look at that. I found the pool.
Awesome swim. First time in the pool since July. HA.
Ok, lets see...
500ish w/u... some drills, some straight swimming. By the end of this wu i was fairly convinced I was going to die a horrible death in the pool.
Main:
1x 400 on 4 min rest
2x 200 on 2 min rest
3x 100 on 1 min rest
Each all out.
Mike and I did this together and while SOMEONE decided to make the 400 a 450 (AHEM), besides that it was awesome. Swimming is the only sport that MIke and I are equally matched at (although depending on the season I might be better), and we are both equally out of swimming shape, so we were able to push each other exactly right for this w/o. I didn't want to let him beat me, and same for him, so we ended up racing each set and then basically dying at the end.
The differences in us as swimmers is this: for the w/u, I felt horrible and like I was going to die; by the last 100 I felt awesome and was all "oooh, I'm a swimmer again!". For him, he felt great at the beginning but than wanted to die at the end.
ANYWAY. then we cooled down.
Will upload times as soon as I figure out how to get the lap data off my watch. Spoiler: we're slow.
My OTHER grandmother is in the hospital now. Damn, this is going to be a hard holiday season.

Return to IM training FAIL.
Suppose to be 20M tt ... i hadn't realized we needed to leave so early for NJ this weekend, so it became a trainer ride, and then the computer crapped out, so I had no idea of miles, so this became an hour worth of solid effort.
Baby steps, right? (Baby steps to become big steps because holy CRAP June is really soon ... )
Return to pool tomorrow. That will be ... that will be interesting.
Actual training
