Today's session is on steady swim intervals. 5x100m and 3x200m with 1 min recovery.
First 100m went too fast, even though I tried to slow down. The other intervals were better. I can't count. Did 6x100m instead.
4x50m pull: 0.57, 0.56, 0.58, 0.58 (ave: 0.573)
6x100m: 2.03, 2.15, 2.19, 2.21, 2.18, 2.18 (ave: 2.157)
3x200m: 4.47, 4.41, 4.48 (ave: 4.453)
This session was at the 50m lap pool. So the timings are more indicative. Too many turns on the 25m lap pool, so a little more subjective.
Practiced sighting for last 200m. Tried something new, which is to start looking up before the right arm pull and to keep eyes low above water to minimize disruption.
Total: 42 laps
Just realized that total swim distance for 5 months this year is 3 times that of 2008. On reflection, I am happy that
(a) front crawl is more decent now
(b) can swim continously for 30 laps (1.5 km)
(c) can sight in open water
(d) can do bilateral breathing
(e) not so worried about OWS
Now the primary focus is to improve my biking.
