SWIM 45 mins and 1600 yards
COMMUTE 6 miles
I'm feeling great, I think the biggest aspect of my recovery will be overcoming the burnout and mental fatigue I was feeling. Don't want that to carry over into 2015.
1600 seems short, but that's what my math came up with. I didn't start right away, stood on the deck and lolly-gagged until 6:16. Once I started I was OK though, felt like a great swim and didn't focus on much else than the workout.
Speaking of which, the goal was counting strokes. WU 300 then 4x50 counting with paddles- I averaged 12 right arm strokes/25y. Then do 4x50 without paddles and keep the number the same. Mine was, so SM said go for faster. I did a few 50's in 50 seconds in what was about an 80% effort. Then 4x50 fist, then 2x150 paddles and pull buoy, then 2x150 pull buoy with fists. For everything but this last 150, my strokes were the same number, this last set it was 16! CD 100.
I talked to SM and NK about keeping motivated this winter for the pool, and asked for some goals or benchmarks to work for by the end of the year. I was happy to have SM give me some 500TT work to do this week :)
I have ideas for next year's goals, but it's only 9 or so days after B2B and only the 3rd day of November. I was going to take November "off", so no goal setting just yet! But I'm thinking of a 100-mile trail race in June and the LC Nationals at Redman in September as the major goals. Just thinking!
