This was the first time in a long while where I can honestly say I left everything in the pool. I barely had the energy to exit the pool at the end of practice. It was encouraging that (a) I was able to feel like I was swimming at top speed while hurting from swimming/dryland this week and (b) that my top speed breaststroke feels like it is starting to take shape. Great news considering how only 4 weeks ago I had a strained groin (again). Taking a much needed rest from all forms of exercise tomorrow.
