Day 13 - Pretty straightforward, a full set of drills (5 drills, 16 x 25yds each) with 200yds on the kickboard with fins in the middle, then 200 yards with fins and no kickboard at the end.
It's amazing how fast you can move swimming with fins... usually a 25yd lap takes me about 30-32 seconds, with the fins it was 20-22... it was really cool. So 2400 yards total.
I also got a 60 minute run in right after the swim.
Day 14 - 3 sets of drills, starting with the ones I usually do last to mix it up a little. 16 x 25yards again... Thumb to Thigh Drill, Three/Six Drill and Fingertip Drag Drill. 1200 yards total
I got an hour in on the bike afterwards as well.
Day 15 - Another 3 drill day. I was kind of tired and sore starting my swim on Saturday so i took it easy today, especially since tomorrow is supposed to be my Long day in the pool. 1200 yards total again.
Week 2 Summary - 150, 2200, 2000, 1200, 1200, 2400, 1200... for a total of 10,350 yards or 5.9 miles. After Two weeks, that makes 10.2 miles total. I can't believe I've been doing this much swimming. And doing it freestyle!

I'm impressed! ... thought this blog would peter out after a few days. Great effort!
I can't tell if the scott family is more impressed by your dedication to the blog, or to the pool.
In my mind, it is the pool, hands down!
Would it boggle your mind if I told you Michael Phelps in regularly putting in 20,000+ yards per day? He has fessed up to over 125,000 yards/week during his high volume training periods.
20,000+ rads a day...
My mind is definitely boggled. That would probably take me 10 hours at least.
yeah 20,000 yards per day is quite impressive but does he have the dedication to regularly blog it .... I think not! :) haha
