Ahhh…so apparently the forecast was a little off…the storm isn’t acctually going to hit until Wednesday. So all in all today acctually turned out to be VERY relaxing!
Attempted to make it ON TIME for the early bird swim today…but it was one of those mornings where your alarm goes off and it takes you like 15 minutes to figure out why the heck your phone would be ringing at 6 in the morning…then you realize that it’s to wake you up…but then it takes you another 5 minutes to try and remember why you set your alarm in the first place…then I FINALLY figured out that I was supposed to be going swimming…and ended up being late.
By the time I had warmed up in the sauna and stretched and stuff they were already on their 6th lap of water running. After about 3 (13m) laps my right anterior compartment started acting up, which is unusual during swimming, usually that’s what helps it the most. This was the first time it’s hurt in a long while. So after 4 or 6 laps I decided to move on and try swimming, which didn’t hurt nearly as much. Did about 20-25 X 25m laps and by the end I was pretty toasted. Hit the hot tub for about 10 minutes and did lots of calf stretches to try and get the swelling down.
Since we were going to be swimming for so long today I decided it was time that I acctually buy some goggles so that I don’t need to worry about running down any seniors, or much worse, getting run down BY seniors. Being the cheapo that I am I wanted to buy the cheapest pair they have, which of course is the kids (hot pink Speedo…suites me just fine!).
Haha…anyways…Did abs after swimming - 2 X 7 exercises X 30 seconds.
Hit the contrast shower for a good 15 minutes. Both before and after this I could acctually feel the pressure building up in my legs no matter what I was doing. It wasn’t really painful, it just worried me alot cause it’s never felt like that before so once I got back to normal temperature, I massaged my lower legs a bit to get some of the junk flowing out of there, that helped a lot and they didn’t bother me for the rest of the day.
Met with my technical shooting coach today (for lack of a better name) and tried to arrange some times to get together…didn’t get far with that, still have no idea when…oh well
Went to the tennis courts by my house to work on the dribbling, needless to say I got plenty of weird looks from the tennis players…and despite their best efforts to scare me away with all their making out…I was persistant and soon enough had all 4 courts to myself!
Spent a good hour there I’d say, it was REALLY hot out so I didn’t do too many full paced drills.
When I finally started to be taken over by tennis players I spooked off and went to the beach for like an hour. The cold water felt really good on my legs. Then I went home and had another contrast shower and ate dinner.
Awesome day! Although I did get made fun of a fair bit, so feel free to join in…
