Wednesday 7/17. Pool swim

While my training plan called for a OWS (open water swim), I opted for some calm and serenity of the pool at the gym tonight. I even had my own lane!  Yes!!

I was supposed to swim 1.5-2 miles which is somewhat boring solo in a pool, to be honest.

I did a 300 warm up and then pretty much just swam laps until I hit 1,000. Then I did 200 kick (blech!!) and I don't know how far of a pull- maybe close to another 800-1,000. I threw in some drills to work on extending my stroke and in the end, stop at close to 1.5miles or about 50-55 minutes later. 

It was the first time I used my new kick board/pull buoy thing I got at the Muncie expo and I liked it!  It was awesome as a pull and ok as a kick board (a bit small. But was easier to use on my side for some drills and fit perfectly between my legs the way it's cut. The only other thing I'd say was that it's a little different to do flip turns with it as a pull buoy because its is longer than normal ones but I think I'll get used to it!
