This is the first time I've been in the pool since the meet. EEK! I've been so busy. I took it easy in my warm-up and I also showed up late, so I didn't have time for much before they announced I was the coach for the evening! UGH! Talk about being put on the spot. Come up with a workout...NOW! I've learned to take it slow with them. They don't do intervals. Usually they work on one stroke a week, but I could tell they wanted something a little different. So we did a little bit of everything and I had them mostly doing drills. And we only used the board once. The board is fine sometimes, but swimmers are too dependent on it. And kicking without it is much more realistic and forces you to do more work. Ha ha ha! I'm not sure they liked it, but everyone thanked me and they learned a little English on the side too! Internationalization!

Toyama Masters Meet (long course)
With any luck I'll try to post some videos of my swims taken by the AMAZING linea!!
But in short...I didn't train and it wasn't my best day in the pool! I swam 3 events: 200Medley Relay (50 free), 50 free, & 100brst. The two 50f were back to back! Brutal! I got 50m cool down inbetween. Not enough to stop the lactic acid build-up.
50 free 35.27 (the 2nd one)
100 breast 136.54
I couldn't see the time clock from 50m away! So I was depending on Linea for my splits. Hopefully they will have the times posted at the pool this week. Not impressive times, but again, I didn't train. Now, if I had the time to train...think of what I could do!!
Total: ~1800m ALL DAY!

We did all back today. Yuck! And the big LC meet is this Sunday and I'm not swimming back at all. So it wasn't helpful in the least! But we did some starts and relay starts at the end, which I always need help with. I really need to attend a start clinic. My starts really suck, especially considering I've been swimming for so long. Eeek!

22km
I biked to the pool and back. But no swimming today for three reasons: 1) my arms are sore 2) the pool is free today because of "Everbody Sports Day" and it was PACKED 3) I've gotta get some studying done!
I did walk around the flea market and bought 3 CDs, 3 shirts and a book for 70円. That was the best bargain EVER.
It was a windy day so heading home was a bit slow, especially over the river. And I had a mountain biker trying to keep up with me...his bike sucks, mine rocks! It meant I had to stop and wait a few times. But he made it!
Total: 22km 1hr.+

Two days in a row at the pool with Linea. WOW!! That's unheard of. And today we brought Kylie too. So, there were three gaijin in one lane. It was an amazing sight! The women next to us were sitting on the bottom of the lane watching us. And there were a few oblivious men who decided to jump in our lane with us but they only last 50m and then quickly got out!
It was great to do a set with people instead of on my own. It inspires me to swim a little faster and a little harder! I need more of that!

Linea and I went to the pool TOGETHER tonight! Amazing! You'd think that neighbors could coordinate swimming together more often. But I can't remember the last time we went together. It was my first swim in a week. Pathetic, but with my schedule lately, it's so hard to get there. After a long day sitting on my butt in front of my computer in my p.j.'s it was good to get out of the house and into the pool. If for no other reason than I needed a shower! I did a nice long warm-up. And then focused on breaststroke. I think that's what I'm swimming in two weeks at the meet. Yikes! I'm not ready for this meet. Oh well. It's good experience! Or something like that!

Bhangra Dance Aerobics
I put in my Bhangra Dance Aerobics DVD when I got home. I did the beginners workout and I was just starting the advanced workout when the DVD froze up. Oh well! I got about 30 minutes in. And I did some sit-ups and push-ups afterwards. I hope I can get the DVD to work again. I forgot how fun it is!
Next....Linea's Yoga CD! Thanks!
Total: 40min.

Yoga
Save money....workout at home!
I watched my Yoga DVD again. I really do like it and it goes by quickly. But I can't do it too often or I'll get sick of it real fast. Hopefully I won't be so sore this time. The relaxation part of it was my favorite. I needed the mental break!
