Swimming
So I've been trying to do a little more swimming lately. And I've still been meaning to try to get in some laps during lunch here at work, there's a public pool nearby (link). My normal workout involves medium-speed laps with some quicker ones mixed in, usu I'll do a couple 100s to warm up, then maybe 4 - 250s, then 5 - 100s, then a couple more 250s, then maybe a couple more 100s, usu totalling around 2000. Also been trying to work on breathing intervals, stroke mechanics, flip turns, and just keeping the goggles on correctly. The more practice I get the more I notice my times are definitely improving. But I'm so slow compared to 'real' swimmers. =) Here's some relative comparisions:
50m:
- 0:38 - a quick one for me (although I'm not diving into the pool and I'm making a turn...)
- 0:21.64 - world record
100m:
- 1:19 - me
- 0:47.84 - world record
As of today I've got in 16 days of swimming this year, 5 times this month, so I guess that's not a ton, but still it's good to get some time in the water.
