Today was sprint emphasis. I had planned on swimming a couple more 50s at the end, but the staff let us in a minute or two late, and sprinting requires more rest . . . if you want to do it right. I did it partially right, but I did it. LOL I was rather happy with those last two 50 times, and it makes me wonder if I could’ve swam the last 100 faster, but, eh, I did it, and that makes me happy. In case you’re wondering (and you may not be, but I’m going to tell you anyway), I come up with these workouts the day of because they depend on what I feel like doing. It’s quite a bit different than when I swim with the team. Honestly, I miss going to the pool and having a coach tell me what to do. It’s certainly easier, but I’ll take pool time anyway I can get it.
