Well, that was a beat down of a sprint conditioning workout ... at least for me! That middle set of 4 rounds of fast kicking really zapped me. But I think 35s are decent times for a 50 kick right now. I swam the 8 x 25 set right after pretty well, but then I was dead the rest of the workout and muddled through. Still, on the whole, my 100 pace times were the fastest they've been since I got back in the pool. Coach Bill said he thinks I'm improving every workout.
