I have been considering trying out the new Finis Agility paddles.Warm down - after a lap of sculling and eggbeater kicking my strokes felt pretty good with the paddles off.

Swam w/ Dave, Dave and Ray. Got my GTD suit in the mail yesterday. Nike is once again sponsoring my swimming efforts. I'm sure that royalty checks will soon follow. Quick note for Speedo and TYR... I haven't worn the suit yet so there's still time to sign me for a better contract. Ray had us doing a "power hour" today. Intervals on a 1:30 pace for 4000 yards. I stuck with free/pull today and added some extra yardage in.

Better today in some ways but my back took a lot more time to loosen up today. Did use the monofin some today especially because I knew it would help loosen up my lower back. I really want to us it more to build more core strength so since I am not really training for any meets until February my focus is weight loss! 400 Free 4x(25 scull + 25 drill + 50 build)@:30RI 4x25@:45 kick descend went 41, 35, 30, 28 100 EZ 8x25@1:00 w/monofin odds SDK on back evens shooters 50 EZ 6x(3x25) AFAP SDK on back w/monofin odds rounds on :30 even rounds on :45 50 EZ after each round found myself running into the lane line a few times. My control of the monofin seemed a little off. 5x50@1:15 as 25 fly scull drill + 25 fast fly this felt good and strong! 50 EZ 200 EZ Total 2500 yards
Yesterday the age group team had a small intersquad developmental meet, mostly to teach all the new swimmers about how a meet is run, as well as teach the parents about a meet. It was good times. I did the setup/teardown of the meet, as well as wore the cap of "head timer" for the meet. Gotta get my work-share hours in. Though I logged onto my swim team account and noticed that my work-share hours were now at 0.00 required. It had a note saying "Manual Reset Obligation by Admin 0.00" I can only hope this isn't an error. I'm sure it's because I'm swimmer/parent all in the same. I'll still do what I can to help at these developmental meets that happen periodically. ------------------------ Warmup: 400 Free 10 x 50 Kick w/ board @ 1:15 (Desc. 1-3, 4-6, 7-10) went :45s down to :38s 10 x 100 Free Pull @ 1:30 breath every 3 (1:08s down to 1:05s pretty relaxed) (1900/1900) 20 x 50 Kick w/ fins @ :45 (25 SDK/25 Flutter on back) ~:05 rest (1000/2900) Main Set: 12 x 150 as: 100 Stroke @ 1:452 x 25 Free AFAP w/ overkick @ 1:00 (attack the wall on the finish)strokes to be done in groups of 4 all same stroke, desc. 1-4did 4 Fly, 4 Back, 4 BreastDesc. to 1:04 Fly, 1:08 Back, 1:15 Breast100 EZ (1900/4800) 2 x 100 IM AFAP @ 2:30 attempt to hit your best time (I was about :10 off my best time from college days) went 1:05 & 1:04 (200/5000) 400 EZ cooldown ------------------- 5400 Yards
