Two Thousand Yard Morning

Up and at 'em in the rainy rain today.  Had a long swim this morning, but it was okay because there weren't very many people in the pool.  I started with some very focused drills after a long mixed stroke warm up and finished with 200y of pull buoy.  I focused on hand position throughout and strong pull, 600y before the main set.

Main was 10x100y EBEH.  I liked this set.  Splitting the 100y sets into 25y lengths was nice.  Made the whole thing go by more quickly.  I did a very good job of slowing down and keeping my body long and focused during the easy legs and creating a long, strong stroke through the build and hard sections.  There is also a noticeable difference between the build sets and the hard sets.  I'm proud of this effort.


10x100y Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4 Set 5
E 29.1 32.53 32.21 33.57 32.24
B 28.58 29.24 29.26 28.72 30.6
E 34.64 34.64 35.07 33.84 32.55
H 25.43 26.3 25.34 26.22 26.3
R=20 19.91 20.22 19.37 21.46 23

Set 6 Set 7 Set 8 Set 9 Set 10
E 32.63 32.54 33.78 33.5 32.49
B 28.15 28.74 28.86 27.71 28.96
E 34.16 33.75 34.34 34.76 34.71
H 25.37 25.34 24.85 25.46 24.21
R=20 19.96 21.41 22.37 21.66  


Fastest length was the last one - woot.  Slowest was only :35, which isn't bad.  I'll take it.  Overall very consistent.

Finished off with 200y freestyle cool down plus 100y each of breast stroke and back stroke.

Also, I need a new bathing suit.  This one is seriously falling apart.
