I don't know if I did better or worse today - I had to stop more and I feel much worse, but even with the stops I swam faster. 36 laps took me 40 minutes -- that's 2.22 minutes for 100yds down from 2.5 on wednesday.
I stopped 3 times -- after each 9 lap stint, but I intentionally swam fast for the last lap of each ennead. I didn't consciously try to go faster in general, but i think I recognized at times that I was doing so.
Usually I feel good after swimming, but today i felt pain deep and low in my chest -- a feeling somewhere between heart-burn and birthing a xenomorph chestburster. It may be that i was recruiting more of my core i swam -- i could feel something (obliques?) working as i twisted and rotated. I'm not worried - it's fading and I am glad i was using the core.
