Swim-Lift-Bike-Run

Saturday was a super productive day.  I hit the pool in the morning and spent 1/2 an hour on drills.  I really wanted to do some of the total immersion drills and work on my stroke.  I felt it was really worth it, because after 20 min. of drills, I was swimming 100s and averaging 10 strokes per 25 yds.  I really liked the feeling of slipping through the water and counting strokes helped me to focus on technique rather than speed.  Remarkably, when I did 1 of the 100s and checked my time, I finished at 1:30.  I didn't really feel I was working that hard, so I was happy with the drill work.  I think I am going to keep doing that on Saturday mornings.  Hit the gym again in the afternoon (after some serious house projects) and did my leg workout.  I am now lifting 65s on each end of the smith machine, doing my step-ups with 35s, and doing my lunges with 25s on a bar.  I felt good in this workout and had no problem on the bike and run.  I even felt good enough after to go out for some Christmas shopping that evening.
