Hmm...

Tonight was my first master's swim practice. First time I've swam a structured workout with someone standing on-deck watching in almost 10 years. Even if there were only 4 of us, swimming something someone else came up with on intervals felt nice. And we really didn't slack off in the middle anywhere. And I suppose my times were decent. To others, they're envious. But I have trouble forgetting where I used to be (and how long ago that actually was). My PR 50yd was a low :27, 100yd time was a 57.2. My 200PR was a 2:05. 500yd was a 5:06 or 5:04 (can't remember which). So pulling in a 200yd all-out last night at 2:34 is a bit grating. But, I'm not 17 anymore, I'm not in the water everyday anymore. I should be proud of the fact that I can still rock that much out, without a start off the blocks and weird flip turns and 2 months of hardly any activity. I just don't like getting old. Ah well.....it was nice to rock a workout though, and felt good to have some structure. I'm going to shoot for being there at least once a week, twice would be ok, too. Maybe swim a meet at some point this year....maybe. If I ever swim further than 200yd in a practice, anyway.

Form discombobulated, tired at end, sprint is pointless this time of year - good bookmark for now
