We are settled into our new home, and looking forward to having our pool completed. I found out today that when it's summer in FL, pool and ocean water gets VERY warm.
Monday was my last T2 practice until I visit them on a weekend.
I can't remember the exact workout, but it went something like this:
Warm
500 choice
4 x 75 (kick/drill/swim) @ :15 rest
Main
4 x 50 (4,3,2,1 breaths per 50) @ 1:00
400 pull
4 x 50 (4,3,2,1 breaths per 50) @ 1:00
300 pull
4 x 50 (4,3,2,1 breaths per 50) @ 1:00
200 pull
4 x 50 (4,3,2,1 breaths per 50) @ 1:00
100 pull
cool 200
This morning I drove 30 minutes to San Carlos Park to swim at 5am with a the Gulf Coast Swim Team Masters group. I am familiar with this pool, because I swam there one time when I was in Ft. Myers one winter during Colgate's winter training camp. The person in charge of the group was also swimming the workout, and his name was Sam. I must say that I was really spoiled by having the luxury of an on deck coach combined with thoughtful practice sets. The main set was a little boring, and not too difficult. Intervals were for everyone, so I had lots of rest. That's okay - the water felt warmer than bath water!

Happy Laps!
I made a glass lamp. It's kind of cool!
I considered filling it up with shells, but I did not want it to look too tacky. The bottom has tiny square glass mirrors adhered around it.
The table is pretty sweet too. We found it at a consignment store!
Until next time - Adios!
