Thursday, 2/14/2019 Pool Workout Facilities just can't figure out how to get this pool a consistent temperature. Hot today. Not sauna, but not conducive to fast swimming...

Bummer. I took my rest day because I'm pretty sore from back squats and pullups after a week of lighter work and the meet.
Monday, 1/28/2019 CrossFit Workout Warmup - airbike, stretching, PVC warmup Strength - Power Snatch - 95/3, 115/3, 135/3, 155/3, 165/3, 175/3 Conditioning - AMRAP 15 x2 (5 min rest between) 500m row wall walk + 10 shoulder taps 15 SHDP 75# 30 double unders Don't remember score Probably should have not worked out this morning, was definitely not firing on all cylinders after the meet.
Sunday, 1/27/2019 Ozark Senior Champs Day 2 Felt a little sore first thing this morning but loosened up pretty quickly. 300 fr 16x50 o-k/dr, e-b :50 8x25 o/c :30 2 starts Again, some warmup and warmdown between events that I didn't keep track of. 200 Free Relay - 21.69 leadoff split - Yesterday most of the sectionals level guys didn't do relays, and some of the better guys had had iffy meets thus far, so head coach put us all in relays today to try to kick start things. Think it worked - everybody on the A relay was 21 low to mid. I had a really good race besides the one breath I took was straight into the turn... oops. 100 Back - 53.56 (25.87/27.69) - I do not remember the hundredths for this race so I'll update when results come in. Breakouts were a little questionable and I'd like my second 50 to be a little closer to the first. But, a second faster than Ozark Masters last year so can't complain too much. 100 Breast - 59.88 (28.25/31.63) - Under a minute untapered, I'll take that! A little deep on my start and turns. Head coach gave me a couple tips on my pull that I'll try to work on. Again, a second faster than Ozark Masters last year. So, pretty much most of the improvement from Ozark Masters (my last non-championship meet last year, though I was decently rested for that) was in going out more aggressively. Hopefully I can get myself better finished with some more rest in March. But very happy with how I did this weekend, closest thing to a "bad swim" was the 100 free and even that wasn't horrid.

Saturday, 1/26/2019 Ozark Senior Champs Day 1 Well, here's "try to qualify for Sectionals" meet! Team warmup: 300 fr 16x50 o-k/dr, e-b 8x25 o/c 2 starts Warmup pool was 20y, so not sure exactly what I did but it was probably around 300 up and 300 down around each race. 100 fly - 52.39 (24.40/27.99) - Off with a bang! That's almost a second and a half PR, and completely untapered too. Got a little bit of a piano the last 25 but altogether not bad. 200 breast - 2:16.22 (30.20/34.71/35.59/35.72) - Felt pretty smooth for 125, but some of my turns were sloppy and I locked up a little the last 50. I haven't trained enough breaststroke for the 200 I think. Still, 2.5 seconds faster than the last time I swam it. 100 free - 49.29 (23.53/25.76) - This one was just sloppy. I don't think I was fully recovered from the 200 breast, and it definitely felt weird. I will have to work on some things on this over the next month or so. Didn't get the auto Sectionals cut but did get the bonus cut so since I made other two events I can still swim this. 50 free, 100 back, and 100 breast tomorrow!
