Today, I swam with the master’s team. When I swim with them, I’m in the 1:30 hundred pace lane. Last Sunday, I did the same and managed to convince someone else to lead. I must say the draft was lovely. LOL She refused to lead today, so it fell to me. However, the coach was Clay Evans, an Olympic silver medalist, and this is our workout. He likes to push us hard. I’m somewhat surprised at how fast I swam. Maybe it was having someone on my tail that motivated me? Maybe it was that competitive spirit? Maybe it was that I didn’t swim yesterday (I did cycle)? Regardless, it was a good swim workout today.
