What's on the plan this week?  

I'm trying to dial things back a bit.  My body is still sore -- I actually think yoga is to blame.  

M - run

T - circuit

W - short run & yoga

T - spin

F - yoga

S - yoga

S - yoga

I may try to find some time to get into the pool this week as well.

What is your plan?

My workout plan for the week:

M - Spin class

T - 1 mile swim followed by Zumba class

W - Spin class

TH - 5k run

F - rest

S - short run

S - 12 -15 mile bike ride

 

I did my first aquathon Saturday. I finished a 200 yard swim followed by a 5k run in 36 mins ... 3 mins for my swim - a minute transition time - and 32 min 5k. My best time ever! :)

a 1:30 min per mile swim is an outstanding pace.  Want to give me your secrets?

Thanks! I swam as a child and then all through high school. It is just kind of natural. I would recommend taking a class to have someone analyze your stroke to see how you can improve speed and efficiency. :)

I did a 1500m open water swim last summer in 25:06. I am hoping to be closer to the 20 min. mark this year. :D

I swim twice a week with a TriTeam and the coach works with me on small but significant changes.  For me the issue is speed vs endurance.  I can swim all day long.  MY 1.2 OWS at the Silverman HIM Last year was 55min so I was happy.  

I focus more on efficiency and form than speed since if I tire myself out on the swim I won't have anything left for the bike.

a 10X100 or 3x300 I now avg a 2:21 to 2:25 but I go faster my stroke starts to fall apart.

I find that if I concentrate on getting into a really good breathing rhythm that seems to help to keep me from getting too tired. It also helps to keep my stroke together when I get tired. 

Wish we lived closer, I'd love to train with you!!

My breathing pattern is very simple.  Breathe Every 2 strokes.  I was doing every 4th but my swim coach killed that.

 

As long as I make it out of the water in by the cutoff time I am happy.  My biggest fear is part of the CHOO 70.3 swim is upstream.

Can you breathe on both sides? I like to breathe every 3/5 strokes.

Wow, upstream...
