Thirty-five minute straight swim today. I really focused on how I felt swimming and how to get into a rhythm. I took my time - or at least I mentally took my time - for the first 300y and then I checked in with my body. All systems were go, so I thought about picking up the pace a bit. I found as I was going that if I altered a piece of my workout, (ie: focusing on bent arms rather than glide) I would start to windmill. So, I would refocus on the task at hand. The idea of "reach" isn't in my blood yet, it's still a conscious effort. I also made sure to turn around as "gently" as possible. I barely touched the wall, this way I had a better idea of the actual amount of effort required to swim for this long.
400y of drills (alternating regular fs) to warm up:
finger drag, catch up, 3T, underwater switch, right arm freestyle, left arm freestyle, 3T, zipper
