12 April
SCM -- 1800m
4x200p (good rhythm)
8x75 p/p (felt great stretch, particularly the final few)
8x25 k (not too shabby!)
8x25 sprint w/ turn (could feel the airplane stiffness with every stroke!)
(have been doing treadmill hills and other organized dryland, including some doubles; less pool time has been a function of work schedule, travel, etc)
This weekend is Illinois State Championships / Masters. Just doing a couple of sprint events to keep mentally in the game and to have some fun. Psyched to cheer on the team and other friends as they use this to jump off to nationals!

- Have been good with the treadmill and swim bands since the Master's State Championships
- CV conditioning translates pretty well to the water
- Feet & calves not happy being back in the water, like usual

- Really crappy stretch at work; am very happy with 1) actually making it to swim and 2) completing a challenging workout!!!
- The 200s in the main set really sucked and I clearly lost power and started to cramp in the middle of them
- The 25s were good; they turned into 25 ez; 2x25 fly; 25 ez, which is okay -- the fly wasn't too shabby
- Pressed for time, so no treadmill this morning

- Goal for week was 10.000m
- Really tough today
- Good kicking work -- working towards minimizing cramping, making kick "neutral" during longer races
- deliberately no treadmill this morning: wanted to push the swimming as far as it could go
- accomplished this in one hour (very happy about that)

- "one of those mornings"
- wasn't into it today, until the final set
- had a good feel (sort of)
- CV fatigue happening simultaneously with muscle fatigue (meaning, MOAR TREADMILL)
- keeping with the higher volume for now -- NEEDED!!!

- Really tough, but fun, practice!
- The 800 w/u felt fantastic; had a great groove
- Really liked the 4x200 (took a lot out of me)
- The kicking sets are helping but it's slow going with such a tragic kick
- Was a "vision quest" to hit the 3800 today (about 1 hr 10 min; was about 3400 at the hour)

- cramping towards the end
- first set felt great
- on the sf sets did "texas turns" but still stuck to breathing off-the-wall pattern
- hit about 3500 at the hour -- and the wall about 100m later
- happy with efforts
- some really stupid meetings and high-annoyance interactions today, bracing for a rough ride

- lots of cramping today
- final ladder (1000m) was more of a swim-cramp-swim-cramp
- figured out how to get into the pain cave // how to push it harder today!!!!
- very psyched about workout
- took about 75 minutes, with the final 1000 maybe 15 minutes :|

- and 10 kcal on the ski erg after each round (starting at damper 10 and down one setting, etc)
- goal was minimal rest; maybe longest was 20 sec (break at wall balls in round 5)
- lots of fun!
