Day 23

Today's training 2 hrs

Spent one hour in the pool. First I Swam 2000m Pushed hard the first 1000m in 16min second 1000m in 17min and then did some Springboard diving after that! Man that was fun! and tiring! talk about a cardi workout! and I don't mean the swim? Great crosstraining! I forgot how much effort it take to dive? it's been a while since I've been on the board, almost two years! 

After the fun, I changed into my gym cloths and I went up to the gym for the second hour where I ran the treadmill for 30min and did weights.

30 min weight workout pushed a gazillion pounds!! Ugh!

30 min swim! my arms felt like lead after the weights! 1500m
30 min spin! Whew! tired!


My total swim this week

13,400m ....I'm getting there!

I weighed myself today and I've lost about 15 lbs  so far, ...Another 40 lbs and I'll be at my Ideal weight, I'm shooting for 180-190  if I keep at this pace with diet and excersize I could be down to weight in 2 months just in time to get in my long open water swims in April! ...Oh wait? there will still be ice on the lake! lol Oh well, I'll have to do end to end never ending swims in the pool until I can get in the lake. lol

Oh! and it just dawned on me!? 6 months today I will be starting off on my 52km swim across lake Ontario!  :)

Day 20

Today's workout


1hr in the pool

2000m straight set in 36min
4x50 speed set

Total for today 2200m.

Saw allot of my peeps in the pool today, Genevieve Blais, Brian Chew, Kevin O'Neil, and Kalvin Chu! all lanes were used with one swimmer per lane except for my lane when a young girl 16ish decided to jump in my lane, my only thought was Figures! pick the lane with the fastest swimmer!? ...Seem she new that! as she was fast! tickling my toes a few time during her speed sets!

After I finished my 2000m set she asked me " How far did you swim" ...I took it as a compliment,  as like I said, she was fast and noticed I had a good clip going. lol  and said just 2000m.lol

We chatted a bit and I found out she is training for ITU AG racing, maybe one day getting to the Olympics! and wants to do Ironman some day when she is old enough! 

I love the fact a young person like that aspires to some big goals! and told her keep working and when you are a pro triathlete you can tell people you used to swim with me! ;) lol
