Pace control 100s & 50s FR on variable intervals, 500 FR for time w/slowest 100 first. Before 500TT, did band stretches, drank water. No speedwork today, will do bursts and short FAST swims over the weekend.

    Frank, is it my imagination or did you change the image/avatar on your profile? I never noticed the fly image before. Knowing how observant I am(my wife would obviously disagree on this skill) you have probably always had the image and I have been looking right at it for a while. Either way great image.

    Thank you so much for the encouragement.

    GTD is off to a good start and Jan will most likely be the best month. I doubt I will sustain 100/month. The 2013 GTD goal is 800, 50 over 2012 GTD 750.

    I am encouraged by today's sets. Using small blocks of low rest intervals as broken swims to get more speed towards swimming mid-distance sets. Can swim a strong 5,000 and yet will struggle with 200-500 swims at only a slightly faster pace.

    Yes, the avatar was changed, as I got tired of seeing my face on every forum post. It is a 1994 BW photo at The Olympic Club pool in SF.
