Well it's Friday now, and I'm at home, sick. I'm not that sick where I couldn't be at school, but I'm so exhausted both mentally and physically, so it's been decided I NeEdEd to stay home. I don't know if this is good or bad.
Rado has royally kicked my ass this week. Lactates tues. and thurs. and ridiculous fly sets mon. and wed. Let's review shall we?
Monday-250's fly. Tuesday-Lactates fly Wednesday-800's fly Thursday-Lactates *free*
*thank the lord they were free, I would've died if they were fly*
I got through monday, somehow got through tuesday, amazingly came out alive wednesday, but didn't get so lucky yesterday. Yesterday is still quite fresh in my mind so let's go over it.
warmup: 600s, 300k, 600p *get a good warmup* <--note left by rado Stretch ------------------------- *Lactates today!* <--2nd note left by rado 1x200 must descend 2nd, 3rd, 4th 50.
1x200 neg. split.
5x100 50 splits must be within 1.5 sec. of eachother
oh and that's not all. Not only did we have to do those things, but he gave us times we had to make, and do those things. let's see that set again, with the times.
warmup: 600s, 300k, 600p *get a good warmup* <--note left by rado Stretch ------------------------- *Lactates today!* <--2nd note left by rado
1x200 must descend 2nd, 3rd, 4th 50. 2:29
1x200 neg. split. 2:23
5x100 50 splits must be within 1.5 sec. of eachother 1:06
Now the 2:29 isn't hard, nor is the 2:23, or even the 1:06 for that matter, but remember, you had to descend, neg split, or keep 1.5 sec. within each 50 on these. I made the 2:29 but just barely cuz I took the first 100 out too slow, but still descended. Made the second one, and neg. split it. Now we reached the 100s. Let's see what happened on these.
1.) 1:06 50s-2.2 sec apart 2.) 1:07 50s-1.9 sec apart 3.) 1:07 50s-1.5 sec apart 4.) 1:06 50s-2.1 sec apart 5.) *1:07 50s-2 sec apart*
There is no way in hell that last one is right. Rado says the girl next to me who I watched finish after I finished went 1:07.3 *If I could watch her finish, I was more than .3 ahead of her* Then he gets to me and says I went a 1:07, but it can't be right. Oh but wait, I have to tell you what he said during all of these 100s.
After the 3rd one, someone from the 2nd practice asked me how I was doing and if they were hard. I said: "It's so hard, I'm like dying over here, on the last one I missed my time but was 1.5 sec apart." They were like "Whoa." then Rado decides to get in: "Lebiedz, stop complaining damn it, start hauling some ass."
Then I get up and do the next one, and as you can see, wasn't good. Then I get up to do another and Rado says to Kimmy "If lebiedz makes this one, you can get out too. But only you two, everyone else has to do it on their own." So of course I'm like ok, I'm gonna do it. Well then that happens, and then I go up to do another one b/c by now it's 5:15 *we're supposed to get out at 5* and Rado has been making people stay later until they make at least one. I'm walking to the block and rado says "Get out lebiedz, I'm sick of watching you swim this slow."
I know he's only trying to motivate me, but his negative-motivation or w/e you wanna call it doesn't work for me. When I get angry I swim slower, and rado definately thoroughly pissed me off yesterday. I came home and literally passed out. I ate dinner, took a shower and went to bed.
I'm going to south bend today anyway, so it was decided, no school for me. and that's how I'm here.
On a happier note, it's official, I like him. I don't know if he knows, but oh well we'll give it some time and see how things play out! He's such a great guy, and just ah! I would love to even just see him more before anything happens. And yes I am going now for it is late...or something to that extent. Peace out!
