Ready for a day off!

Today I really started hurting.  Since I swam the Michigan Masters meet last weekend, I haven't had a single day off since I started with Club Wolverine last Wednesday.  It's been a solid week and a half of either working out or racing.

I thought it would be an easy day for me since we were ending the day with a  2,500 meter kick set.  After a challenging warmup and pre-set I found myself at the back of the pack once again.  Since everything is new to me, it's been quite an awkward week and a half.  I've had significant trouble figuring out the workouts each day.  I feel that they could be presented in a more logical manner on the piece of paper.  In contrast, I now appreciate (even more) the workouts Peter Linn used to write.  They were clearly partitioned with columns indicating which set SPRINT // MIDDLE DISTANCE // DISTANCE were assigned.  The Club Wolverine workouts are typed, and for that reason alone, I would think it would be even easier to make columns.  Instead there is only one workout for all swimmers.  To differentiate the workout groups there are little notes here and there as to what each group should do differently from what is initially written.  I find myself doing the wrong thing since I overlook the side-note indicating a different variation of the set my lane is assigned.  I know it's just a different approach to writing workouts.  There is no right or wrong way.  I sincerely appreciate what the workouts contain and how interesting each one is.  It definitely keeps me on my toes because they are always changing.  I can't tell you how many sets we do per day.  Many are very short and abstract.  It makes a 2+ hour pool workout much mor bearable.

I have a Satruday practice and then I get a WHOLE DAY OFF.  I'm going to bask in the glory of zero physical activity all day Sunday.
