I do some drills. I know I should do more. I do fists and catch-up mostly. Occasionally kick-board. I have not done any speed work, that's an oxymoron at this stage. I am wanting to learn to like swimming but it still sucks donkeys. My goal, for now, is to reach the elusive 2:00/100m cruising speed, which I have heard should be easy but I am still somewhere around 2:20/100m.
Got any tips?? |
Trick question.

Over at the other place there is a swim section in the tri forum. Wens gave me a bunch of drills about 2 years ago that really helped me. I swam my 1500 in just under 30min yesterday and it was my first swim in 6 mo. And I'm slow as ****. When I'm really training I do drop down 50's once a week. Set a time for a 50- including rest between sets. Each set you lose 5seconds. Keep repeating until you miss your time. I start at 1:00 (That is silly slow, but it allows me about 5 sets).

So then you are admitting that you tried. That's even more gross. Few succeed. So that self-levelling floor stuff... didn't quite self level. It either set up too quickly or I underestimated how much I needed. There's a low spot in the middle of the floor; about 3/16". The underlayment (which is on) helped a little bit, but the perfectly level floor I was expecting didn't happen. Balls. The thinset needs to set up for 24 hours, so I am summed up on my renovation work for this period. I didn't get as far along as I had hoped, but all that is left is to place and grout floor tile, purchase, place, and grout shower tile, a little bit of cabinet carpentry, put the fixtures back in, and some trim work - a couple of weekends, really. Then I went out and cleaned up my disaster of a shop/garage because its state was driving me blind with rage. And now, predictably, I am too tired to ride. DG |

Datlas. You did not get faster on the bike by riding slowly. If all you did was LSD rides you would be able to do slow double centuries. You threw in speed work to get faster (club sprints and the like). I was stuck until last year when I started training instead of swimming. And my speed picked up.

I don't refuse to talk about it. It was requested by many of you. There is nothing to talk about anyway. She is dead to me. I sent her the letter. That resulted in a 2hr long phone conversation of her saying how wrong I am, and how much she loves me. I asked where do we go from here. She said we will have to talk about it, but she had to go. Just leaving the door open for her to do whatever the hell she wants. I'm just so over it. I don't even care anymore. I'm not going to contact her anymore and I am not going to answer her calls or txts. Maybe she will get the picture.

I've been doing that here for 9 years. So does everybody else. I'm not the one who monopolized this stupid thread for weeks on end with my love life soap opera.

Hoo-hah! We are getting Felafel for dinner! With sides of Baba Ghanooj and Hummus. And a pizza for the kids (I think I can steal a slice too).

I don't think she has any idea of the definition of that word. She just throws it around to manipulate people. Namely myself.

OK, I get the message. I will start doing some speed work/intervals. The 50m intervals you suggested sounds good to me.

Thanks, I will go take a look. BTW I don't think you are super slow, you are probably a bit faster than I am in the pool. I am getting annoyed with my swim...I can easily maintain 20+MPH on the bike for an hour, I can easily run 8:00 miles for an hour, but no way I can swim 2:00/100m for more than 2 minutes!
Sad. |

I think you are right. But be prepared to be manipulated more.

I'm sure others will try. The scars I have acquired through all of this will make it hard to allow it to ever happen again. Especially not from her.
You sound kind of sad! You doing OK? |
