Ouuuuch

This morning I set a new record for single-workout swim yardage, with a whopping 2700 yards in the pool

That is a mile and a half, y'all. And 1200 yards of that was speedwork. Which came after about 1000 yards of various pull drills (Right arm only! Left arm only! Both arms only! Swim!)

My shoulders started protesting with about 600 yards to go. But I just had short little sprints and a cool-down left, so I pushed through, 50 yards at a time.

On one hand, I'm all pumped that I made it to the end and hit all the splits where they needed to be and such. On the other? Damn am I tired. And my shoulders are done. Toast. There will be no reaching for the items on the high shelves at home for a few days, my friends.
