200 IM and other training

Posted by Kevin Doak on Wednesday at: 6:36am (November 5th, 2008)
I missed a few days here! I had a chance to swim an "all out" 200 IM on Friday, it was pretty ugly, I went a 2:27... Not exactly an impressive time for me considering I do the 100 IM in 52.6. I have a long way to go if I want to post a similar time in the longer version of the event. I tried again today in practice and went a 2:16, a solid improvement from a push but still a long way from where I want to be.

I've had a good training week (and weekend) doing 3,000+ yards a day. I have to admit I was fairly unmotivated to swim today, I did about 2,000 yards and felt like doing starts and turns instead, I did at least 20 of each. I was getting sloppy by the end and I called it a day. I have the Louisville meet coming up and that one should be exciting, I might try to achieve some freestyle lifetime bests there. I've been doing dryland and weights regularly. Its been really nice keeping in contact with some of the masters swimmers I met at the Indianapolis meet! I meet the nicest people...
