Swimmer’s Eve

“Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.” – Charlie Chaplin

Chlorine is my perfume (6)

I am neither pro swimmer nor doctor, so you are following my advice on your own risk. For better understanding, read my Quick Reference first.

  • Warm-Up: 100K, 50B, 50R (2x)
  • 7x25K (try to decrease armstrokes by one on every lane; target count: 13-16)
  • 25K-sprint, 50K relaxed, 25-S (focus on clean technique) (6x) – oh my gosh, I haven’t done this for too long… my body needed quite some time to remember how much fun this is
  • 400K (with flip turns)
  • 200K “Belgian tourniquet” (in pairs: first swimmer dives down in the middle of the lane, second swimmer swims by fastly, then switch order on the next lane)
  • 50K-sprint complete with racedive (2x) – now is the time to fret about those new guys who are so fucking fast
  • Cool down: 100B, 75K

(Total: 2050m)
