This week I celebrated with two birthday swims both in excess of 5,000 yards.
My friend, Big Daddy Carmen and I share the same birthdate March 10th. I am however a couple of years older and wiser.
On Tuesday, March 10th BD was traveling so I was solo. I got in a bit early, swam with the morning group and then capped it off swimming a few hundred yards on my own. I can't remember what the workout was but I swam 5200 yards + 100 for good luck! Keeping with tradition the last 50 was fly.
BD was celebrating his a milestone 50th year so we did the obligatory 50x100's. We rallied two lanes of our workout group for this celebration. There were some enthusiastic takers and some not so much. Here is the workout:
10x100 1:40 warm up & drill/swim
10x100 1:30 (4 IM)
5x100 1:25
9x100 1:30 (I pulled)
4x100 1:20
8x100 1:30
3x100 1:15
100 IM
100 warm down (last 25 fly)
5000 +100 for good luck
Looking forward to celebrating a 30 or 40 year olds birthday next.
Important to note that we both still don't use the ladder to get out of the pool!!!
