Ouch. And a Birthday!

So, I hopped back in the pool this morning after a week of not practicing due to illness. Ouch. Again I realize how easy it is to fall out of shape when it comes to swimming. And, I need a moment to vent, it's REALLY frustrating. You see, this morning our main set was 10x100 on the fastest interval you could hold. My lane did the first 5 on the 1:30 and the second 5 on the 1:25. I was barely holding 1:20s.  Miserable. To give a little context to my frustration, in college I could easily do 10x100s on the 1:05 and hold sub-1:00. Again, FRUSTRATING. But then I had to remind myself that I'm not 18 anymore and all I can do is just keep chugging along. Practice makes perfect. Less than a month until Champs!

Now I've had my Wired Puppy coffee and I'm ready for a productive day of work!

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my super amazing and wonderful kayaker, Erik! The big 2-8! Radical.
