SWIM somewhere just under an hour, 1700y
To my surprise I was able to wake up this morning and make it to the swim. But once I got to the swim, I found I didn't have much in the way of energy! After just 50y I was gasping for breath, and after 100 I needed to stop. SM let me use the pull buoy to rest my legs. I took her up on the offer about half way through.
The session was 500's, I did 300's for everyone else's 500. There was no need to rush, no need to overdo it, no need to keep up. I proved last week that my swimming is going just fine with that 500y PR. The goal right now is to modify the week to fit a goal of RECOVERY.
I'm feeling good, my legs are swollen and achy but no specific pains. My appetite is coming back, and my hydration is great. Today my body was in "water dump" phase - seems all that extra water from over the weekend is just being flushed out!
