Last Thursday, I swam with David's team. Technically, it's also my team, since I'm one of the two Masters. However, since everyone else is between 8-15 years old, I refer to them as David's team. Anyway, the main set was 8 x 100 kick. I can't kick. That is a well-known fact. Everyone who has swam with me knows this.
After 18 x 50 back/breast, we were supposed to do a hard kick set on 4:00. My times were all around 2:10-2:15. Most of the kids were in the 1:40-1:50 range. It's a good thing I check my ego at the door when I swim with the kids, since Sabrina, a 12 year-old girl, had 30 seconds on me per 100.
Over the weekend, the weather was awesome. We had a nice Saturday ride. I took David along, and he rode 30 miles. Since he rode about 35 miles all winter, it was a pretty big day for him. I realized after we had returned that his saddle was too low, since he's grown quite a bit since I first set up his bike. When I measured him, it turned out his saddle was about 1" low; maybe that's why it almost looked like he was riding a circus bike. After I dropped him off, I went off to go hard by myself for about 30 minutes. It was great being out on my Cervelo and just hammering along. Did I mention that I'm trying out a new saddle? Well, I think I found the sweet spot on the saddle about halfway through, and, for a saddle, it was pretty comfortable.
I woke up to swim this AM. Surprisingly, after feeling really tired yesterday, I felt wide awake at 4:30 AM. My swim was not too bad, just a shade under 3000 in 1 hour. But I definitely feel like a fish out of water right now. I guess I need to swim more... probably a lot more.
