Exams are over, term's over and everything is peaceful and quiet for a change. So was the pool. Only three other swimmers this morning. More came later, but it was pleasant to have the lane to myself for a change.
Second swim session this week, at NUS pool. Target today was steady pace swim. 5x100m, and 3x200m. I did fast laps on the pull buoy, but went to a steady state swim for the main set.
warm up: 1.05, 1.10, 1.04, 1.05, 1.08, 1.08 (30 sec recovery)
pull: 1.01, 0.57, 0.59, 0.59 (30 sec recovery)
5x100m: 2.01, 2.17, 2.13, 2.13, 2.14 (60 sec recovery)
3x200m: 4.48 (2.22, 2.26), 4.46 (2.20, 2.26), 4.52 (2.22, 2.30) (60 sec recovery)
10 laps continuous: 1.11, 1.15, 1.18, 1.19, 1.18, 1.15, 1.18, 1.12, 1.09, 1.11
I didn't realize until after the swim that my pace was about the same as my last fast 100m interval session.
The 200m intervals were about the same as the early session this week, and I felt slower than the last time.
To round it off, I did 10 laps continuous. Felt tired by then, and slowed my pace. But the times were pretty decent, so no complaints from me.
Overall 52 laps.
Wed session on the stationary bike was 10x5 min hard ride with 3 min recovery. Managed to cover the entire set today. Phew! Needed two bottles of isotonic drinks. E commented that I was "madder" (dripping more sweat) than the last time.
And now for NUS slopes tomorrow. Gambare.
