2000 yards. This was about me and the borrowed "blunt" fins, trying to concentrate on keeping my arms straighter and hands relaxed but opened to catch more water.

I watch others and want to keep the side swiveling motion going, as well as any effort to contribute with a kick. It helps! Warmup Set (300y) 4 x 75 … Continue reading More pull than kicking

2000 yds I keep doing these Tri Faster workouts iPhone app workouts and emailing them to myself in hopes of putting them on the blog, but there's a disconnect in the mailing process that keeps them from getting back to me. Yes, the IT guy is having problems sending reliable emails to himself! Here's what … Continue reading Missing swims?
2000 yds. Sometimes when I swim it is as if I am starting over. I don't feel I have any mastery of basic freestyle, and I seem slow to kick and pull. That was today. Nothing out of the ordinary, here's the workout, many 25s for the main set. I started following the interval times, … Continue reading Where’d it all go?
1600 yds. I did the workout below, in the crowded Lake Lytal pool due to summer camp attendance. I swam next to Dave Ragsdale, unknowingly until we were asked to leave the pool because a kid had apparently vomited in the pool on the other side. Usually they clear the pool for lightning, but I … Continue reading Swim in the relish
