Workout Summary: 5/4/2011

Swim:

Warmup: 50 yd freestyle, 50 yd kick repeat

Distance: 24 x 25 yards = 600 yards = 0.34 miles
Time: 11 min 12 sec
Pace:  1.83 mph

Distance: 2 x 25 yard sprint
Time: 47 seconds
Pace: 2.18 mph

Attitude:
I felt like I was floundering in the pool today.  Sometimes I feel like I'm gliding through the water.  Other days I feel like I'm just splashing around wasting energy.  Today was one of those days.  My 600 yard time wasn't bad though.  If I could bring my 600 yard pace up to 2 mph that would be great.  On the sprint I felt like I was really moving.  I only took a breath about twice per length of the pool.  I'm thinking I may want to change my normal pace breathing rate from the normal 3 strokes to 4 or 5.  I'm having issues with my earplugs so I'm not sure if I'll wear them for the triathlon. 

Short workout because I got stuck at work and had plans for later in the evening. 

 My left knee hurts from biking yesterday which is discouraging.  The pain is just above my left kneecap.  I'm considering going back to Clyde and asking for more adjustments.
