Yeah! Swimming!

It's great to see some old friendly faces back at the old pool! Sybil has returned to be somewhat regular. Wilderness Chris, is back in the pool too! Now if we can get Rob back into the pool and Ann back in September that would be awesome!

Anyway, today was a masters day. I truthfully was not looking forward to it as I felt like crap in the water yesterday. So I went reluctantly hoping that it would feel better than yesterday and it DID! YEAH!!!

I did not do many drills however I have spend about 4.5 hours doing drills over the past 3 days. It's hard to do drills when you are expected to do a written workout. So I incorporate them in the warm up and then try to have a focus for every set.

Todays sets were:
Warm up 800 yards
3 X (100, 50, 50) 100 DPS, 50 Side Kick, 50 Catch up
8 X 50 1:00
4 X 100 1:55
2 X 200 3:40
8 X 50 1:00

The main set was easy. Usually it would be really tiring for me and I would be struggling at the end but I ended the 8 X 50's on the same :50. Things felt good and effortless. I didn't feel any strain in my neck at all. I noticed I let my head relax and my focus was lower than usual and so my breathing was not as big of a turn of my head. I also focused on keeping my hand relaxed both on recovery and catch. That makes a huge difference. No energy just disipating for no reason. I see things now with completely different eyes now. It's good.
