Hello all

I am so glad everyone is posting their workouts ! Thanks so much. My coach is going to be gone from December 25 until Jan 13 (She will be one of the coaches for the USA Junior National team at the Pan Pacifics in Guam - I am sure I already told everyone that but I am sooooo pumped for her!

Anyway I will be on my own and back at the Y pool so my morning schedule will be very restricted and I don't have time in the evening w/ running and biking to fit in. waaa waaa waaaa
BUT I will be able to try some of these workouts that is the upside as long as I can motivate myself to do them.

Here was today's swim - it doesn't cover a lot of distance because the drills took a lot longer than just straight swimming but it was a very good session to up the stroke quality.

The underwater pull (human drill) is the one where you do a normal crawl stroke but your arms never leave the water. You breath about every 4 or six strokes and then just breath like you normally would. It is like a long extended dog paddle w/ body rotation - I had never done it before today - it was kind of fun.
