I came expecting Coach Rada and a stroke (IM) workout. Obviously, she wasn’t, but Coach Steve was. The fun thing about having different coaches is the variety of workouts we get. Each coach has a different style. Although Thursdays are usually stroke day, this was fine, too. The pool temperature was a brisk 76º. I literally screamed out all of my air when I dove into the water. (Under water, of course.) At least, it was a lovely day out (80-something). Getting out wasn’t as hard. LOL
