22Aug17 - Back to the Pool
Summer is over for me and work begins again. Today I went back to Kearns and the pool had been converted back to SCY..... :(
1000 WU
500 K
1150 by length swimming 9 down to 1. Odds pull and evens swim. Last length put me at other end so it was light pull back.
350 K
10 x 50 on minute, trying to hit wall under :45
2 x 100 N/S
2 x 50 CD
I noticed that I have gotten a LOT slower in the pool. I've done so much longer slower swimming that I am not making the times I am used to for pool workouts in SCY.
I will work on that over the winter.

21Aug17 - Solar Eclipse Day
Up and at JN by 0500. Lisa had prior commitments so I was solo today. I decided to swim to the dam and back anyway. I had a lot on my mind this morning so going out seemed to go by quick. Once I was at the dam, I swam east for a few hundred yards then back west. I then headed north back to the boat ramp. When I got to the green buoy, I headed east for 1/2 mile then back. This put me at 4 miles. My GPS stopped working during the whole first half of the last mile but I have swam this reservoir so many times I know distances there pretty well.
I got out feeling good and barely noticing that I had swam.

18Aug17
Met Lisa at 0500 at JN. The air was in the low 40's and the water was noticeably cold when we got in. The plan was the big loop to get to 4 miles then go from there. I have not slept well the past 2 days or slept much at all for that matter because of things going on at home. Just been a stressful few days. I told Lisa that depending on how I feel, we might just do dam and back.
We headed out and what seemed like forever, we hit the dam. I asked how she was doing and she said she was ready to head back in. This immediately got my attention. I asked what was going on and she said she was a bit cold. Looking back, I believe that this is the first time that Lisa has ever uttered a word that even remotely sounded like a complaint. She is one of the toughest and strongest willed people I have ever met. Her admitting that something is bothering her means something. She said she needed to swim fast so she could warm up.
Off she went and by the time I got to the boat ramp, she was fully dressed and looking...."less than comfortable". This is our last swim together for the summer. School is back and we will both be busy with it and won't be able to swim anymore at the reservoir.
I told her how much I appreciate her coming to swim with me over the summer and help me but words will never express how much I respect her for what she has done for me these past months. I am ready for the UTC24 because of her.
I was feeling warm and energetic so I headed out to get myself to 4 miles. I hit 4 miles and took another feed. Might was well do one more! I did one more mile then headed in. I was glad I did the 5th mile and felt good the last 2 miles. I was warm, comfortable and was keeping a good pace.
I will probably do a swim Monday but not sure yet.

Took Monday off to recover a bit from Saturday. Turns out that it wasn't enough rest.
1000 WU
Did some IM work that is too weird to write down to make any sense. At 2k, I was supposed to do a pull set that would equal 1500. After 300, my triceps started to hurt. It was not an ache, but actual sharp pain in my muscles. I guess they had not forgiven me yet.
I took paddles off and did light laps until I hit 4000. I was supposed to do 8000 today but I don't want to injure myself.
