Yeah! We started the later Saturday practices today. I didn't have to get up super early to swim, and it was phenomenal! Amelia woke me at just before 6 am. I wanted another 20 minutes or so, but I had no problem staying up after feeding her (she has been have a rough time at nights lately because of her first tooth coming in). We had a new coach today named Laura. I swam with her at the U. I think she gave us a wonderful workout!
Warm Up:
300 swim
200 Kick
100 Drill
(150 Swim--this was extra because everyone else was still warming up)
12x50 IM/Free @:55
Main Set:
500 (50 fast/200 pace)
(I think this is where I did the extra 50 easy)
10x50 @:50 descend 1-5
500 (25 fast/75 pace)
8x75 Kick/Stroke/Free @1:20
5x100 @1:20 Strong (I averaged 1:12)
200 Cool Down
4,200 yards total
One last thing about swimming. Tom gave me the suggestion of trying to kick bigger (wider) when I want to kick faster/stronger. I didn't think it would work; however, I felt much faster and stronger. Now, I didn't watch my time, I just went off the way it felt. I was surprised how much harder I was kicking. I know becaues my legs are still tired! I definitely used my leg muscles better. Thanks, Tom!
