TYR Swim Set of the Week – Finding Inspiration!

by Haley on July 11, 2014

I knew this morning’s swim workout would be a tough one:

July 11, 2014 pdf2I LOVE hard efforts on tight intervals, but they still require some major FOCUS since it’s easy to slip up and find myself in total death mode! As for the 25s fly? Well I did this set in a 50m pool, which means those started mid-pool with NO push off the wall. Yes, my coach is the devil!

So how did it go? I made the times! I even found a bit of inspiration from a group of high schoolers swimming in the lane next to me. Those kids have such great attitudes, and even though we were doing very different workouts (they still know how to do breastroke), if I’m going to work hard, I like to be in close proximity with others doing the same thing!

So thank you to “Paul’s Group” of high school swimmers at Bozeman Swim Center, thank you to the crazy Tour de France cyclists (stage 5, omg!) and thank you to the even crazier people running the Hardrock 100 right now (check out coverage of this extra-insane race on iRunFar’s twitter feed). Inspiration is easy to find if you know where to look!

And there’s always retail inspiration, like this new TYR transition bag! Fluorescent yellow? Um, yes #addtocart.
