Warm Down
300 FR/BK DPS ABPT

Comments:
Still tired, sore from swimming workouts and dryland weights, but not broken down.

• Warm Up - ABPT is "As Best Possible Technique".
• Set 1 - The first four rounds are what I hope will be my 1000 and/or 1650 pace at some point in the next six months. The last two rounds with the toys were to just have a little fun going fast, but they were harder to do than the first four rounds.
• Set 2 - I have started to learn how to stay in the middle of the lane with the sun in my eyes. I like swimming backstroke, but still waiting for the clips to arrive so I can work on longer SDK off the walls. The SDK skills and conditioning will be a side project to my OW preparation, and if I can do some of it on a daily basis, over time it should improve.
• Set 3 - Recovery swimming doing strokes.
• Set 4 - a quick round of strong 50 FR.
• Warm Down - Really making effort to start and finish workout with DPS and ABPT swimming.
