Back to swim intervals
I do realize that I have not posted much in recent months. This is due in part to taking to heart one of Scott Molina's tips: Spend less time reading, talking, blogging about training and more time actually doing it. This sport is about the work.
The truth is that I enjoy training, perhaps more than racing. This is something that a Norwegian competitor at this year's aviva affirmed.
However, a blog highlights significant milestones, challenges and achievements - anything that can motivate me to keep going. Therein, its role and value.
Here's one challenge that I couldn't meet. 32x50m swim intervals at 55 sec target with 10 sec recovery. All I could manage was 16 laps, averaging 57 sec with 30 sec recovery :(
I looked back at my swim times last year, and I managed a personal best of 48 sec for a 50m. Best this year is 53 sec. Gotten slower, have I?
