Did a timed 300 at the first in 5:30. Then several 50s in 51. Then a 100 in 1:46 Then fist glove workout, finished with a 100 in 1:46.
I remembered something that helped me go faster when I was creating PR's. I like the concept of "breaking the work up" meaning faster shorter pieces instead of big long pieces. (think of gearing down when you go up hills, shorter, faster easier reps) I was anchoring with a fast hand instead of a powerful hand. I tried that today and I was not too tired after the intervals that I did.
To get back to my PR, it is a matter of cutting two seconds off per lap. I have gone from 1:40s to 58-59s. Pretty good swimmers are in the 40s. So I just need to get to 55-56 and I will be much more competative.
