We had another 1K time trial last night.

I moaned because the coach had said we did not have to do it if we did the one in January but then obliged.

I did 18:40.
The first 100 in 1:43
500 in 9:30 -

That means
a) a negative split (if one can talk about this in swimming)
b) I took off 2:10 from the January TT
c) all of that on the second 500!

I feel much stronger on the catch these days, have improved the push-through phase although I am sure that could be improved.
