Keep it up!

After sundays bootcamp I was hoping on an easy and recovering practice on monday with Eileens group but I ended up swimming with Dirk and Andy again.
It was pretty good especially because my arms were still pretty sore from sunday.

Warm-Up:
300 swim
150 kick
300 pull
150 kick
8*50 on :50 (25 drill+ 25swim)

Main Set:
2* ( 5* 100 swim on 1:30
       4* 50 kick on 1:15 desc. 1-4
       8* 25 Coaches' choice           )
300 pull

Warm-Down:
Express Flip-turn clinic

Overall a pretty nice workout!

On Tuesday I skipped practice and had a pretty lazy day in general. ;o) So nothing much to tell about tuesday.

On wednesday  I couldn't go to my French class because Colin was sick the day before and I had to stay home with him. So we spend the whole day at home relaxing again.
After another lazy day I went to GP with my own personal cheerleader Jordan (Thank you again for coming :-*)

The main workout was a
16*100 set on 1:40, odd ones stroke, even ones backstroke for me (freestyle for everyone else)

I did ok. Swam 100 IMs between 1:20 and 1:25, 100 Breaststroke on 1:28 and the 8*100 Backstroke between 1:18 and 1:24.

After the workout Jordan and I went out for dinner in Bethesda. We had a really good talk and after not seeing her for weeks it was nice to just hang out.

Yesterday morning I met Jordan again. In the evening I went to AU for a last practice before my meet on sunday.
Jason wanted me to bring fins to push Jose and the others on the kick set.

We started with a warm-up of
400 swim
300 kick
200 IM.
6*50 on 1:00 desc 1-3,4-6

The main set started with
5*100 kick on 1:45 (I kicked with fins and finished each of them under 1:12)
After that we had
16*50 odd kick (did stroke) and even stroke all out ; finished the fast ones on bacstroke between :34 and :36
32*25 kick, every 4th all out ( 1-3 drill, 4 all out and left after #16)

Today I had my second French test about Chapter 3&4. After I forgot to study yesterday I was freaking out a little bit this morning. I tried to memorize the words during breakfast but it somehow didn't work out. Overall the test was ok eventhough it could have been better! I still have to write my essay and hand it in on monday.
Topic: Imagine you use a dating platform on the internet. Write a profile about what kind of person you are, what you like to wear and if you play any sports or instruments.

Now I'm looking forward to another active weekend. Tomorrow I'll be recovering and in the afternoon I'm invited for a German(late) lunch/ (early) dinner. Then I'm gonna pick up Betty from practice and we'll have a sleepover again.
On sunday we'll be swimming at 'Dreaming of Spring' in Warrenton, VA.
I signed up for
50 and 200 Backstroke,
50 and 100 Breaststroke and
100IM.
Wish me luck! ;o)
