LOTS of swimming for me

Cameron Brown has been working me hard in the pool every morning and believe me, I wouldn't have been able to swim the distances we have been swimming had I been on my own. The past three days we have been swimming over five thousand meters! This is huge for me since it is such a struggle for me to get in two thousand meters. Hopefully it will give me what I need to stay in contact with the lead pack in three weeks time.

Set from this morning:

200 swim
200 kick
4x50 drill
800 pull breathing 3,5,7,9 per 25
3x 800 holding 1:17 pace with 15 seconds recovery
200 easy
10x 100 on 1:20 I thought this would be easy. I was only just making the set
100 drill
4x 50 fly
200 cool down

Came out to 5,400m today. I talked a lot of smack in the car on the way to the pool. I held my own until 1,600 of the 3 x 800 m set and then Cameron pulled away. He is in some good form and is training well here in Austin. Lots of coca cola being consumed as well.
