Yesterday wasn’t about speed. As you probably guessed from the title, it was about timing. For me, this meant focusing on timing with breathing. In the main set, I alternated between relaxing and that timing/breathing focus and just relaxing into the swim while trying to maintain that timing/breathing on a faster interval. It worked. The last 75 was 1:00. (I did push that one a little harder.) It was good. Sometimes, you just have to step back.
As ever, adjust the intervals/distances/strokes to work for you.
