Swimming

A keen observer will note that I stopped swimming for a couple weeks in March. I did a Splash and Sprint race and my 750m time was identical to last year’s time when I did virtually no swimming. I guess that tripling my weekly swim yardage of 0-1000 meters per week to 3000 meters per week is equivalent to 3 times nothing is still nothing. Finding myself a captive of irrefutable laws of mathematics, I went back to my tried and true swim training technique of not doing any. This seemed to work. Anyways, the instructor at the Swim Fit class at the Y was not amused by unwillingness to try any other strokes and kind of “suggested” that I stop coming for a while. As of April, I’m back to weekly long, slow swims of 3k(ish) on Thursday mornings. The downside is that this effectively eliminates my one morning to sleep in. The upside is that my new wetsuit is here.
