First Lactic and Excuses

Sat September 27 - 90 min
8 pace 25s
8 underwater kick 25s Fly
4x100 1:30 - 57 / 57 / 57 / 56 worked way too hard for times
8x100 50 kick / 50 pace swim @ 26-27

Sun September 28
First Lactic / Dive set of this season + my list of excuses:

List of excuses:
- Lifting Heavy which just kills my swimming
- First time in 2 1/2 month going off the blocks
- Sunday early in the morning is not an ideal time to swim fast
- it's pretty much the first workout before noon all season.
- no fast skin - just old skin
- did I mention that the lifting makes me tired

Set = all on 6-7 minutes - yards - from a dive
150 - descend each 50 - 1:22.0
100 - all-out 50.2
100 - all-out 50.2
50 - 23.0
50 - 22.7

Well - my stroke is all over the place, trying to change my turns to add underwaters which did not work at all, I have little to no speed and I am hoping to swim the yards time of today in meters 10 weeks from now. Nothing like a little reality check ...
