Wednesday - Mar 20, 2013 - Swim/Bike

Wednesday - March 20, 2013

My wife and I made a new training schedule, and Wednesday's I will be swimming before work, and riding the bike trainer in the evening.

Swim - I was 5 minutes late to the pool.  I was able to swim 68 laps in 39 minutes without struggling much.  The last 4 laps were "speed" laps and I'm right about at 1:30 for 100 now.  Granted, these are yards and not meters.  There was a younger female in the far lane from me that looked pretty smooth and fast.  I think to break through to sub-1:30 100 times I need to work on my stroke and bi-lateral breathing (I'm still breathing every other stroke on one side).  Breathing every third seemed to help my speed as that one extra stroke makes a difference (I think).  Plus, bi-lateral breathing will help me stay symmetrical. 

Bike - I hopped on the trainer for an hour while I watched another episode of the Walking Dead.  The ride felt easy, not too bad. 

I have an evening run tomorrow.  So far so good on the new training schedule.

FYI - my weight is 228, 21.5% body fat (which is down over a full percent since I got the scale).
