today's workout: 5,000 yards

hit the pool today, and started swimming while the boy's swim team came in for a practice. I was till swimming as they did their drills. I was still swimming as they finished their drills. I was still swimming when they finished their workout. i was still swimming when another group of folks came in. I was still swimming when they left. Then I got out. So yeah. 2 hours and 15 minutes of swimming. The biggest problem is that the chlorine irritates me so much that for the rest of the day I am sneezing and having a runny nose. I need to find a way to stop that.

200 yds warm up
200 yds drills
6x100 yds pull paddles
200 yds mental
6x500 yds distance
12x50 yds speed (4 sets of 3x50 yds each)
200 yds cool down

Hey Steve, why don't you swim in the river? No chlorine, and the logs, stumps, wildlife, and current would add some variety to the swim.

Steve,
Nice work out, but suggest you stop snorting the pool water. I agree with Beth about the work out location. Swimming in open water is vastly different than in a pool. Also, with all the things living there, snorting that water may have some nice deleterious effects!
