Take a dip in March!

Main set,
4 blocks of this:

100 kick,
300 free with pull
30 seconds rest

100 kick,
200 free with pull
30 seconds rest

100 kick
100 free with pull
1 minute rest

THe kick is fast, as in this is not social kick, time it if that will help you, should be about 10 seconds slower than your regular 100 free. Your legs should be very tired after only one hundred, thus the pull for free...
The free, faster as the length goes down, so the last 100 should really be fast.

Did 1350 today. I could have done more, but I was getting kind of bored! I think next time, I'm going to make up an actual plan so that I have something to follow to keep my brain engaged.

I managed 6x100 with 30-1:00 rests between (which is pretty amazing for me) AND I did a 150 without stopping, too!

I'm also very consistent. My 50's, 100's and my 150 were all of the same pace.

I did 2100m today. A lot of kicking sets in there. At the end I had to do 6X50 fast and I think I am finally seeing progress. Times ranged from :57-1:00 which for me, is pretty fast.

I wanna be like you guys when I grow up...

2000 yds today. I went out without a plan, and not feeling great. I'm PMSing so bad, and I'm so bloated that I thought my boobs would float away on their own.

I did manage to do a 400 yd interval and a few 200s, followed by random 100s and 50s. None of it was fast or pretty, but I just wanted to do the distance. I'll do something more organized today... if I can keep the boobs corralled.

Another great swim class last night. We worked on stroke technique some more (and breathing) with some additional alignment drills and things just fell further into place. I truly felt like I was gliding through the water with very little effort. I asked for assessment on my breathing since I felt more drag when breathing to the right than to the left and he said that I looked good both ways and that most everyone just has a better side. I also got complements from a couple of the other attendees that my stroke looked really good. Yay me!

I'm super excited for my next swim to put these things into place again. Seriously....I'm beginning to think that swimming is FUN!!
