The lap experiment = total win

[susandennis]

I did 10 minutes of laps with no stopping.  Then 5 minutes of vertical cardio and then 5 more minutes of laps.  Then I finished off with my regular stuff but the laps were great!

I was thinking that it would be really cool to download some podcasts to listen to while I'm lapping.  I need the fast beat music to keep my pace up with the other stuff but with laps I can just measure me by the other swimmers.  I could easily keep up with Green Trunks Guy (he's the nice guy who always asks about my car and is there most days when I am).

There are lots more pool opportunities for laps than my other stuff.  Plus it's nice to have something different.  And it doubles as breathing exercises which can't hurt my lungs and might help.

Kewel.  Now it's lunch time.

I am looking forward to laps in my own pool. Turned on the solar heater last week but now have had 3-4 days of drizzle and clouds. Hoping to be in the pool in a few weeks but right now it is maybe 68 degrees in the water. My goal each summer is 40 laps which takes about 15 minutes in my pool. I hold my breath for the entire lap. Granted my pool is not "olympic" size, lol
