First few swims of 2015

2015 is all about building a very solid base that will hopefully leave me in perfect physical condition for a 6 month surge in 2016.

The first swim of the year was an interesting set. It was not challenging from getting tired but the lactic acid build up and then getting through that discomfort barrier.

8km

• 1 x 1000m 
• 1 x 1000m - finger paddles
• 1 x 1000m - medium hand paddles
• 1 x 1000m - large hand paddles
• 1 x 1000m - large hand paddles
• 1 x 1000m - medium hand paddles
• 1 x 1000m - finger paddles
• 1 x 1000m
• 5 minutes treading water

Today's set was again meant to quickly build the acid back up and then learn to swim through it:

5km

• 1 x 1000 - kicking
• 1 x 1000 - one arm swimming
• 1 x 1000 - finger paddles
• 1 x 1000 - medium paddles
• 1 x 1000 - large hand paddles
• 12 minutes treading water
