2000 yards. I have seen faster swimmers use quicker arm turnover. Plus I notice the full side to side motion and what it looks like underwater when done correctly. I am getting some of both in my laps. Warmup Set (400y) 5 x 75 [25 drill/50 swim] @ 0:15 rest 25 choice Main Set (1300y) … Continue reading More swim prep than ever
2000 yards. The LA Fitness Okee pool is dark to begin with, put me in there alone for 40 minutes of laps and it's boring. I did mix in some good breathing and speed though....

2000 yards. I felt good, especially trying to time my starts and finishes on the 25m course with a guy in the lane next to me. I think about the Nautica South Beach tri while I swim. I should review the course and know where I'm going vs. my imagination. Warmup Set (200y) 4 x … Continue reading In a good groove
1800 yards. I skipped the cooldown part because a day off the plane I was just happy to have been in the water. I met and spoke to Amanda, a yoga instructor in training.

2000 yards. Before I trick myself into thinking I'm getting good, I have to really start kicking as a part of the workouts. So the workout delivered the requirements, kicking as part of every piece of the main set. Perfect weather, no rush, and my final day at Lake Lytal pool for a month while … Continue reading Add it in now
2000 yards. Recovery also happens in the pool! A friendly workout that allowed me to not kick but relax my legs to a light flutter was very welcomed. A very good day, water cooler than usual but easy to adjust to, it makes the drive to and from the pool easier to accept. I really … Continue reading Even the water helps
2000 yards. With iPhone out of commission for the second consecutive swim, I just did 10 x 200 yards. It was a wonderful weather day, Walter did not join me for this. My goggles need a refurb, tehy fog way too easily now.
2000 yards. I figured a self imposed 5 x 400yards would be a good workout in the way left lanes, over by the water slide. Walter came and did 1650 yards. The water and air temps are about the same. I love that. My toes cramped while trying to kick 100 with big fins on, … Continue reading Make it up yourself
2000 yards. 75 degrees out of the water, 80 degrees in the pool. I love getting the, "I'm not cold going in the pool" feeling. My breathing hold the air to exhale as long as possible feels more natural. I cramped in my toes trying the last 100 kick with long fins. True I had … Continue reading In good weather or in better weather.
