As expected, my arms and shoulders were tired today but surprisingly there weren't sore (yet?). My times on the 400s weren't exactly fast but they weren't terrible either.

I used the monofin for the first time in a while. The last time I used it I got blisters that took weeks to heal because they were on the joints of my first two toes, so today I put some Bodyglide on those parts of my feet and didn't have any problems.
