Sinking with Swimming . . .

Okay, so I did an endurance workout today in the pool: 6 min time trial, 3 min rest, 4 min time trial, 2 min rest, 1 min time trial, 30 sec rest, 30 sec time trial, 15 sec rest, 15 sec time trial... and I'm not kidding when I say I almost sank! I don't have any goggles, and I thought I'd be okay, but my eyes disagreed! So I ended up doing the front crawl with my head above water most of the workout, which, of course, wastes even more energy... if you end up trying this workout - I recommend goggles for sure, I'm heading to Target right away!The swim workout was a nice way to give my leg joints a rest, I was feeling a little weary from the 2 running workouts that I did, so I figured that a pool workout would be better for my body and give my joints a brake from the track and from the pavement. Plus running outside with the ice and snow melting isn't the safest on your ankles, I kept my eyes on the sidewalk and the bike path to make sure I didn't slip and break something... and that doesn't help your running form.

It's finally back to CrossFit tomorrow - we'll see how it goes... oh and one week from today is another 5K time trial. I'll get to the importance of these time trials in an upcoming post - there's this crazy cool calculator that will blow you away!!!

Happy training,
