Fortunately for F3, high schools without pools are at the UNO Aquatic Center for 5:30 am and the Plunge can resume as scheduled. YHC would like to see more PAX indulge this joint sparing cardio workout. While researching 45 min swim beat downs, YHC came across the perfect work out to prepare the less experienced PAX for an open water swim; just like the swim featured in the Triathlons based in here New Orleans (foreshadowing). Three men met the GLOOM on a mission of self improvement and bettering one’s self.
The Thang
- 300 yd W/U
- 8 x 25 yd, :10 rest
- One way Tarzan Drill (keep your head above water)
- Other way Fist Drill (keep your hands in a fist. This would be renamed the Chucky Stroke. (Any PAX familiar with Son’s of Anarchy will get the joke).
- 400 yd
- No walls, turn at the “T”
- 4 x 75 yd
- Sprint 25 yd, recover 50 yd, no rest
- 2 x 50 yd Pulls
- Using hand paddles, count your strokes one way; on the way back, try to lower your stroke count
