Birthday 5k Swim

On January about 20 people showed up at the Wilton YMCA to swim a 5k. Why a 5k so early in the season?

A few years ago I decided to swim each year for my birthday my age times 10, unfortunately time goes by and the distance gets longer and longer...

Coach Erin was there and designed a good workout that went by fairly quickly especially in a 50 meters pool and with friends as well.

The workout was as follow:

  • 500 warm-up
  • 2x500
  • 6x200
  • 12x100
  • 20x50
  • 100 cool-down
Try it it is not too bad! We were limited by time as the pool was closing for the swim team at 1pm and I can just say I was very thank full for Kate's feet, without them I don't think I would have finished on time!

Now the question is do I start going backward in time for next year or find a 25 years old who would like to take over or swim my age times laps?

We had a nice lunch afterwards with some available swimmers.





Thanks for such a great birthday!
