Wowza : )

Hey guys. Well I am pooped. I mean really. I have been trying to work so hard to keep up with all the older people on my swim team. (Lets just say I am not quite there yet).
Today's evening sets were pretty intense. We started out with just 100 swim 50 kick 6x for our warm-up, then I believe we did something involving IM (that's how tired I am. Generally I remember the sets for a day or two). After that we got really intense and busy. One of the more annoying sets was 4 50's on 50, 3 50's on 45, 2 50's on 40, 1 50 on 35. Rest for 45 seconds, then do 8 25's underwater body dolphin with fins on 45, 3 times through the whole thing. You'd think that only the last 50 would be tough, but NO. Once you got to the 6thish 50 you started getting tired, which meant you had to work harder. NOT FUN. The 25's at least were fairly easy.
After that we did a set that was a 200 free (I think on like 3 minutes), 3 50's butterfly, 200 free (on like 2:50), 2 75's backstroke, 200 free (on like 2:40), 6 25's breaststroke, 200 free (either on 2:30, or 2:35), 3 50's freestyle. I don't recall the times for the strokes in between the 200's. So then I was even more tired from trying to keep my pace according to to the times for the 200's. Lame.
Then our two coaches decided 6 75's would be a good finish. First two were IM drill no free, second two were IM no free, then I believe the last two were free. After that they let us cool down.
I know that eventually I will get used to swimming again after that August break, but till then, I'm ready to go to bed. Night.

P.S. I swear I don't usually complain this much.... much.
P.S.S/ P.P.S ( don't remember which it is) The new MUSE album The Resistance is sooo amazing. Check it out on iTunes and I can like guarantee you won't be let down. : ) Peace out.
