Great swim this morning

today there were was only Chris and I at practice this morning so i have lots of space and time. I did drills for about the first 1000 yards and then we did a set of 10 X 100 on 1:50.

First, this is a fast pace for me for 10 X 100's. I would usually do this set on 1:55 or 2:00. however I decided... I'll do the 1:50 interval expecting to hold 1:45's. Preceding the set was 2 X 200's and I figured i would try these on 3:40 shooting for holding the 1:45 pace.

I did the 200's in 3:25 easily, 5 seconds faster than I expected. So I figured holding the 1:45 pace would be about right with 5 seconds rest.

Then I started and I did the first 100 in 1:37. I basically held the pace easily throughout. I focused on relaxing my hand in the front primarily and my kick was minimal. Everything just felt like it was flowing. It was good stuff. Faster and easier that's perfect!
