I had a tummy bug late yesterday and hadn't been able to eat almost anything leading up to this swim. I knew about the 1,500m TT, so I packed a gel and some salt pills in case I wouldn't be able to eat well during the day. I managed to get through a sandwich and some berries. I also had to nap for a few hours on the couch at work because I was so woozy. Hope it goes away soon.
I took one Gu Roctane and two Endurolyte pills before this workout. I'm sure they kept me reasonably alive.
50m easy

I was doing about 2:00-2:05 for a long while, especially with some lane shuffling and drafting. Once we got sorted out, I was able to actually hold 2:00 for the last 500m. I'm totally shocked. Getting very close to my sub-30 goal.

I remember having some awesome results (not specifically swimming) coming off being sick. I felt so much more focused and connected...
ReplyDeleteNice swim times. I'll avoid swimming with you as I will get my ass rightfully kicked!
