From Maintenance to Increased Performance
Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 3:21AM
Some of my dear readers may remember a series of posts last year when I set out my commitment to swim training, as I prepared for the 2008 Duel at the Pool. And, as part of my reporting, I noted my determination to keep on training even after the end of the outdoor swimming season at Kitsilano Pool.
Well .. I did keep swimming all winter long, at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre, though not as regularly as I did last summer. I swam regularly enough, however, to keep a basic level of swim fitness in place, but not regularly enough to avoid the dreaded addition of a 1/2 inch layer of blubber spread evenly around my upper torso ;-)
However ... Kitsilano Pool opened this summer on May 18th and I have been in the lovely salt-water pool every day except one thus far, and I am already churning through a minimum of 15,000 metres per week (approximately 2,750 to 3,100 metres per session), and I am mixing it up in terms of long sets and intervals.
Yippee, the layer of blubber is disappearing pretty rapidly.
My objective is to move up to 20,000 metres per week by June 21st, and keep each 550-metre set under 9 minutes consistently.
Next, my goal for the 2009 Duel at the Pool (40 lengths of Kitsilano Pool non-stop) is to "lap" my friend Ean Jackson, the Mako Shark. He maintains that all he has to do to beat me this year is shave his legs and swim 4 lengths of training by the end of August.
He never has beaten me yet ... last year the outcome was decisive, in 2007 the race did not happen due to the Vancouver Civic strike, and the previous year's outcome (2006) was debatable, given his subterfuge through insisting the race be held 6 hours after I disembarked from a late-night transcontinental flight. That year (2006) I won the short-course sprint, then took a break for a nap whilst he kept plodding along to the end, claiming victory ... clearly a dubious achievement.
Anyway ... the 2009 Duel at the Pool will be held August 19, 2009. I'll report on it here then.

Very cool. I'm sure I won't make it that far.
Comment on his own blog from my buddy Ean, the Mako Shark with a case of the Winter Mange:

| Title: Season-Opener at Kits Pool
Nice job, Whale Shark. I acknowledge, it does pay to train. Must be nice
to be able to put 20 laps in at Kits Pool every day!
So my low point has been defined. At least I managed 10 lengths. Yes,
you took about 50m out of me, at that. Given a straight line with all of
the training you propose to do, I may, indeed, get lapped this year. But
I plan to get in at least 2 days a week in the pewl... let's see how long
it takes me to catch up.
Nice little taunt, by the way:
