A number of the usual lap swimmer suspects are out of town today. However, they generally don’t swim my workouts. I just miss the camaraderie before the workouts. 🙂 Why am I not talking about the workout? It was fly. It was pain. What more do I need to say? LOL...

Ah, there’s nothing like sprint day. I gave myself more rest so that i could rest and really push. Interesting, though, when I got to Set 3, I relaxed into the strong and focused on breathing. I swam all of the 25s sub :20. The 100s were all 1:20-1:21. The last...

This is a little different workout than I normally swim. I gave myself a lot of time on the sprint 50s and 25s, but the 75s preceding them are meant to be hard. Whatever interval you come in on that first 75 is the pace you aim to keep through the rest of those 75s....
