Just Keep Swimming...

Had a decent swim this morning inspite of my usual Monday night crap sleep. I don't know what it is but the last several weeks I've had at least one night were I just lay awake until 1:30am or so and then finally fall asleep. Seems like most weeks, Monday is the night. Last night being Monday, it was another rough night for sleep. Crazy thing is that when the alarm went off at 4:50 this morning I felt almost... good? Must be getting used to the lack of Z's.

A quick cup of coffee, a Pop-Tart (yeah a Pop-Tart) a kiss on the cheek of the sleeping wife (not sure she even knew!), and I'm out the door and off to the YMCA to meet with the masters class. Been doing this class for a couple months now and it seems to be making me faster.

Today's swim:

• 500 warm up
• 6 x 75 - 25 kick, 25 drill, 25 swim
• 4 x 200 on 20s RI (held these right at 3:05 then the 20s RI)
• 8 x 100 on 15s RI (held these at 1:25)
• 4 x 50 strong 10s RI
• 250 cool down
• 3000 total 57:54

Looks like a tough workout tonight on tap for cycling class complete with a double Freeland at the end. Joked with Brian this morning that maybe I'd skip going to class. But the abuse I'd get for not being there to suffer through a set named after me would be unbelievable. So I better show up!

A double Freeland??? Is a 5 minute, 20 seconds on 10 seconds off, high intensity interval training set (HIIT) done twice with a 2 minute recovery between sets. I've been given credit based on the fact that I forgot to do a single HIIT at the beginning of a workout while training at home where it's suppose to be done, and added it in at the end where it hurts more.

Should be fun... and make for a good night sleep tonight... Cross your fingers.
