Busch Race, Ladies Wimbledon, Live Earth, Tour De France, Nextel Cup Race. Good sports and entertainment for me today. Of course I had to work. But between quick t.v. breaks at the p.d and XM Radio I got to see at least some of all of the above.
Broke one of the Cardinal Rules of swimming again. Swam less than an hour after eating. I could feel the heaviness in my stomach from the get go. But since I had missed a few swim days this week my arms and legs were fresh.
Swam 1000 free warm up. Pace a little slower than I expected, but any faster was not comfortable. Then did my next 1000 alternating between free and breast every 100 yards. I have started to use this as my "standard tempo" swim. I give a moderate to strong effort for this. Had my second best time ever. Less than two seconds off my PR, and had not swam a 1000 warm up before setting that one. Then cooled down with a 500.
2500 - 44:37.30
Just started thinking about the Live Earth concerts a little more. It has brought back great memories. I still remember Live Aid from the 80's. It feels much the same to me. I have also enjoyed hearing some of the "old" songs from the 80's again. |
