It was an early morning today and I didn't want to get up. I stayed up late watching the NCAA basketball championship. I should have bailed and went to bed. I had to stay up and the one shining moment montage. Not that great this year. Yesterday, I had jury duty at the Frank Crowley courthouse for Dallas County. Joy. I was hoping to not be there all day and it worked out. Since I had to be downtown by 8:30, I didn't really have time for my morning swim. After they decided to let us go after lunch, I made it home in time to get my swim in before it got too far into the evening. Jeff had a few weird quirks in the plan. The first was a 15 minute timed swim in which I was to cover as much ground as possible. I ended up getting 800 yards in. Right after the timed swim, I was to do 12x25. Each length would go 3 breaths/2 breaths/1 breath/0 breaths. I didn't know if I could cover the entire 25 without taking a breath. Jeff says it is for hypoxic training and teaches efficiency. I was able to do it, much to my surprise. Interesting swim.
This morning was a track day. Jeff gave me a warm up mile, 2x800 at 5k pace, 1 800 at 5k pace minus 3-5 seconds, 2x800 at 5k pace and a cool down mile. When I grabbed my watch this morning, the pegs that charge the watch must not have seated correctly and it was almost out of battery life. I took it with me anyway and decided to get what I could out of it. My garmin died after the first 800. I don't have any idea how I did today. I think the first 800 was around 3:58. I did the best I could without having my garmin to help me with pace. I am really tired this morning. I need to get more sleep tonight.
