Oh My God

First, Chad I think I have fixed the comments section so go ahead and comment away.

Ok, so today was my first day in the pool (time to start getting ready for that upcoming Triathlon in Vulcan). I thought today it would be ambitious to try and do a total of 500m which is the swim distance but like most good things it was not to happen.

So I sneak into the Renfew pool this AM (not really, Sherry was working so I was able to tag along) and I find out that Devon hosts a conditioning swim session each morning at 08:30.

I figured OK, Chad has me all muscled up in the shoulders and arms and my cardo is OK so I decided to swim a bit (two times 100m) and then hung out in the hot tub until 08:30 to see what this was all about.  Must admit I was not so sure this was a good idea as I was already complaining.

Devon pops out with his board for the day and he has planned at 2000m swim set along with a 15 minute timed event for whatever that totaled out to be.  I figured, no way is this happening to so I decided to do 1/2 the planned amount.  

So here it is:

2 x 100m freestyle warm up

4 x 25m IM legs only (25m each dolphin kick, back kick, breast stroke kick, front crawl kick)

4 x 50m front crawl (first 50 heads up, second 50 breathing normally, third 50 breathing only every 3 strokes, last 50 breathing every 5 strokes)

15 minute timed swim (I managed 22 length for a total of 550m)

nearing the finish for me at least

3 x 100m mixed something or other (don' t know what to call it)

50m legs only

50m swim 

20 deck push ups

When I did the math this worked out to a total distance of 1550m.  Not so sure this was smart after my workout with Chad yesterday where we continued our insane work out of standing lunges alternated with preacher curls, followed by jump squats and skull crushers and then straight leg pulls and bicep curls and to round it all out close grip push ups on a medicine ball.

Feels really good to get a work out like this but to be honest Sherry may have to spoon feed me for the rest of the weekend, I don't think I have the strength to lift my arms up.
