Back in the pool. Today’s swim is labelled a recovery swim, something to settle me back into swimming after the race two days ago. No kick lengths, no drills, but some timed 100s with the pull buoy, and some sprints at the end.
Warm Up

Main Work

8×100 4pull 4 swim on 1:45 (1:32, 1:38, 1:40, 1:39, 1:40, 1:38, 1:38, 1:38)
16x25m building pace to close to max sprint on 45 (Started at 30 secs, then got it down to 16 secs for the last 2!)

Cool Down
———-
200 swim
Total length only 1800m, and some rest, but plenty of hard work too. I managed to get the last couple of 25s down to 16 seconds, which at least shows that I have some speed now to go along with my glide. I certainly felt zippier in the pool tonight. Working hard, but far more able to keep up with the times. But then, it was a recovery swim….
I see the swim on Thursday looks pretty tough….
