Swim Go Go Go

We lost count of the laps. We must have swam next week's National Day's share tonight as well.

There were very few swimmers in Lane 1 tonight, about 5-6. SL and I alternated and led the swim. I was trying to remember all the drills and corrections from last Friday - closed palms, roll, enter straight & not cross the centre line, enter light & not splash, twist & glide... Too many! Perhaps that was why it took the monotony out of the swim, I just focused on each stroke.

8x 50m hard (actually like not much difference....)
1:06, 1:10, 1:07, 1:12, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:12

Repeat 8x 50m (kidding?!?!)
1:09, 1:08, 1:10, 1:10, 1:10 1:12, 1:12, 1:12

9x 100m @ 2:45min
2:24, 2:22, 2:29, 2:25, 2:32, 2:24, 2:30, 2:27, 2:36

6x 100m @ 3:00min
2:40, 2:33, 2:46, 2:33, (watch ran out of lap counts, oops....) average of 2:33 ish.

8x 50m sprint (again, felt like similar effort) - Coach got 4 swimmers from Lane 2 to pull for us to draft. :)
1:09, 1:11, ... average of 1:11 ish. Not much of a sprint.


It was a good swim though. Concentrating on the stroke form allowed me to conserve some energy. A good start to my swim week. *PS stares wistfully at ITB knee* :(
