Dr. C told me when I swam I should drink an extra product that day because I am using up everything I have in store. So I swam in the morning and I had decided at the start of this program I wasn't going to worry about distance or speed, just use it as exercise and to work on my stroke.
That is all good when said, but when I get in that water, I want to go fast I want to be able to beat everybody, it is in my nature. But today it was hard very very hard. I couldn't get the speed up even when I tried, I was very very slow and there was nothing I could do about it. I had a set workout planned, and yes I planned for it to be easy, work on my stroke, but it was a long workout, well long for me now, so I was planning on taking it easier then I originally planned.
I got up had my bar, and took my water with me. Everything was going smoothly until I hit about the mile mark. I started to cramp, but I was only half done with the workout so I stretched out the cramp drank my water and continued on.
Well the cramping got more frequent, and drinking the water wasn't seeming to help, as I started to throw it up after drinking it, so I knew I was spent, but I wanted to finish the workout - I really did so I stayed in until I had a full fledged charlie horse, at that time I got out - without finishing my workout.
It was hard to put my shoes on, my leg would cramp, so I would have to massage it out, then I would try again, it was not a good swim day all around. Maybe I will take her up on having an extra product on swim days, but I am not sure that would have helped during the swim.
Oh what is a swimmer on 960 calories a day to do?

EAT BANANAS my cramping T3!!!! I know you may not be able to eat them now, but please do so AFTEr you go off product.
ReplyDeleteAlso, try the extra bar BEFORE you get in the pool - maybe two extra bars.
T3 will certainly win the Grand Prize for Stubborn - 960 calories/day & burn 980 calories per swim session - hum, your body will go into starvation survival mode & that'll make it tough.
EXTRA bars & probably an extra product and keep up the swimming!
I think I used enough CAPITALS and exclamation points !!!!! to sound like a real crazy guy.
Comment #2 - we want blogs! Can you write on 960 calories per day? Maybe extra product/bars will allow you to swim more AND to write your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to suffer blog withdrawal.
We have Princess Noor (The Light of the World) with us this week & she definitely will require us to consume extra product to keep up our energy.
All hail Noor (Tolar hasn't quite got the message about hailing rather than crushing).
