Training Hard For A 10K

Kirsten Groome is preparing for the World Swimming Championship Trials in Ft. Myers, Florida next month. She will be competing against Chloe Sutton, Eva Fabian and several top Canadian swimmers who will also be in the race. She did a 7600-meter main set during her 10,000-meter workout in a 50-meter pool last week that was a good way to prepare to swim an open water 10K fast

2000-meter freestyle on 27:00 descend each 500
3 x 500 @ 6:15, descend each 500
3 x 100 @ 1:10 fast

Kirsten said after the hard workout, "Special thanks to my teammate, Ryan Littlefield, for keeping me company on the first round. He will be doing the 5K in Ft Myers."

Good luck to them both.
