So after the meet last weekend and some stuff going on at the beginning of the week this is my first "real" day back in the water (other than floating around at the YMCA with Addison on Monday night).

10 x 100 Kick w/ Fins 1:40
10 x 100 Pull w/ buoy & paddles 1:30 (breathe every 5)

Tuesday- November 18, 2008

Hit the YMCA this AM:

25 Minutes Biking (animated program)
20 Minutes Treadmill (various inclines)

Got a good sweat going on an aerobic workout. Now that we joined the YMCA I have a gym again and also pic up another pool. They have a 4-lane lap pool split with the other side being for kids. It won't be my main pool, but a good alternative to when I can't get to Mt. View or its not available due to other meets/events.

Monday- November 17, 2008

Just had the SC SCM Championships this past weekend in Columbia, SC. Got to catch up with Carlton Bruner and Keith Switzer which was great....and I was by far the slowest of the trio, which is okay..for now! If I learned anything this weekend its that I need to train less yardage (and time probably) and just more intense (more quality sets). Also SPRINTS HURT...BAD!

So here are my results and place (Times are SCM):
50 Free- 28.33 (4th)
100 Free- 1:01.99 (6th)
200 Free- 2:20.08 (6th)
100 Back- 1:14.48 (4th)
100 IM- 1:11.89 (7th)

My best swim was probably the 100 IM even though I placed worst in it. It was my first event and I was fresh, it was downhill after that.
