My elbow hurts. Some days I hug the lane markers too much (the lanes are shared, and some swimmers are "wider" than others) and I end up whacking my elbow on them. Doesn't take more than a couple times to really focus on high elbows.
Aerobic swim today. Warm up: 100m backstroke, 200m drills (one-arm, finger drag, catch-up & delayed breathing). Drills were good. I especially liked the catch-up drill today. I tried to think about my arm position the whole time, from the reach to the catch. I still feel like my focus is inconsistent during the main set, but I tried to dial it into my arm when I found myself drifting.
Main set was 7x100m with 15s rest in between. Every 25m was supposed to be easy, medium, easy, medium. I realized that I'm not very good at grey areas. I'm okay at going easy and I'm good at going hard, but medium was a bit too ambiguous for me and I found myself going too hard some times and barely changing the effort other times. I will consider this for next time.
Easy 200m cool down. Swam 75m breast stroke and 25m back stroke twice in a row, getting slower for the second set.
Total distance: 1200m
Total time in pool: 38mins
