Today is the swim - Whenever I think of swimming I think of the Freestylin song but I dont know the artist or the actual song name.

Today's schedule says 10X50 (30") which means:
swim 10, 50 yard laps (usually down and back in a 25 yard pool) and rest 30 seconds inbetween.

I love swimming but oh my gosh it has been since Highschool swim team days since i've really "swam" and it feels good - well actually sore right now - but I forgot how much I've missed the pool. I cant wait to get my stamina back. OH and another thing - the pool here is FREEZING! I hate when you get one foot in the pool and you get goosebumps because the water is that cold. I really hope the water temp warms up within the next week.

So from the Masters-Athlete magazine there was an article about training in 6 weeks for a Sprint Triathlon (which is the shortest of the types of Tri's - 500 yard swim, 13 mile bike and 3.1 mile run).
I'm starting week 1 this week. To warm up I rode 15 mins on the bike and did 5.5 miles. I then went to the treadmill and started running 30 mins at my easy pace of 4.5 mph.
As you can see there are only 2 intensities - easy and medium - to clarify the medium pace is your "race day " pace.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's swim results
