weights first

so today i did the weight room first. and i think it took a little bit too much out of me. so i'll probably use what i've got left over to do weights from now on.

500 warm up
200 or 300 swim then drills

500 kick
alternating flutter then dolphin by 100

3x500s on 10ish
again trying to hold that 120 pace. a 120 seemed really fast today. i think mostly because i had already lifted. the first one i got behind on and then fought back to get on pace, and actually made it. so i was proud of myself for that. but the second one was a disaster, i kept on it until 200 or so and then my brain quit. so it was embarassing. i almost quit in the middle of it, but decided the yardage was worth it if nothing else. i think i was only 20 seconds off. but the third one i redeemed myself and stayed right on the 1:20 pace. that puts me at 8 minutes for 500 meters, which is definitely too slow. it was just a hard day. i need to get on that pace for a thousand. then see if i can build from there. but it's still very early on, and i'm trying to build a lot of muscle mass. but it is frustrating to feel like i'm sliding backwards a bit.

500 cool down

total 3000
