Swim Workout 7

Ever improving, the main concern now relates to whether I am getting an adequate workout on swim days---I keep forgetting to bring a watch along to time the workout, but I usually get out of the pool between :35 and :40 so the workout is certainly not more than :30 and probably more like :20-:25. Because my usual workouts are on the order of :45+, these seem short. I think there is an off-season weight-gain concern here too since I have lost the massive-calorie-burn of the 2:00+ ride.

Threw in an additional 1x50 swim at the end and an additional :20 VK (I had to bail early on one of the :30VKs). The VK with hands on head is much tougher than I expected, felt like I was pushing my head down into the water the whole time. I see why Hines has us doing that, but I feel like it is just ahead of my ability at this point.

I have not lifted yet, and this is partly due to figuring out the 'when' of it. Next week I think I will try to do my lifting after the Monday and Friday swim---to extend the workout a bit and actually get the work done.
