- 3.5 back stroke
- 1 breast stroke
- 1 side stroke
- 9.5 freestyle
Continued to focus on freestyle technique - I think I might have done 2 of the 9.5 laps properly - i had less trouble breathing and they seemed to go faster. On the other hand, i inhaled a lot of water on other laps, so it's a work in progress.
I was impressed by another swimmer, probably 10 years my senior, who was swimming faster than i was when i got there and continued the entire time i was there without stopping. I had to pause and breathe almost between each length. I have oodles of room for improvement.
Contrary to what i anticipated, I am only mildly sore today, and it's all in my shoulders and chest rather than my core. The good news there is that i can do it all again on Thursday. The bad news is that i'm not sure yesterday's regimen was as effective as last week's situps that enfeebled me for most of a week.
I had an 8am meeting (normally i finish showering and get to my desk around 8:30), but rather than using it as an excuse to skip swimming I got up extra early to make sure i stayed on track. Maintaining momentum is key for my continued success.
