After my workout today, I am now half way done with my 10 x 10,000 yard challenge.  As I stood at the end of the pool ready to start,  I thought that today was surely going to be the day that I was going to struggle.  Nope, not yet….it seemed really easy.  Rob brought the workout, actually he brought 3 workouts to choose.  I picked the one that was 7200 yards and with a little tweeking we quickly made it into a 10,000 yard workout.  The time just flew by thanks to Rob.  It seems like I am less crazy when someone else is doing the same thing.  Here is how we broke it down:

200 each of  swim, kick, swim, pull, swim

8×50  kick  1-4 build, 5-8 descend

8×200 pull

4×500  swim

4×400  pull

4×300  swim

4×200  kick

4×100  swim

10×100 swim

Notes: I love sets where each amount of yards is less than the last.  It makes it feel like they are getting easier instead of harder. After the completion of each 4 during the main set, I would give a big YAY! after.   I liked that Rob made me kick more, it felt nice to rest my arms.  All in all it felt great and after 3 hours in the water, I could have kept going for hours. This is exactly how I am supposed to be feeling in my training. I am right on track!
