test set
I had a good chat with Justin on Thursday evening about setting up for this September's "A" races. One piece of the plan is a test set every other weekend. I'll be in Seoul next weekend so I figured I shoudl try and get the first test set in today, as long as my leg felt okay.
Thu 15 May: am swim w Brett at pro club. 3300 yards. 70 minutes.
warm-up: 200 s/k/p
a few sets with Mike -- I don't remember the details at this point. A mix of swim, pull, stroke...
10x50 breathe control -- 5 breaths, 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1. made it all!
I liked this form of breathe control better than "every N strokes" b/c you can't game it by swimming inefficiently. On #9 I breathed into the turn but fought all the way back w/out breathing. On #10 I fought through the turn before breathing instead!
Sun 18 May: solo swim at pro club.
warm-up: 400 swim, 200 kick, 200 pull
4x50 descend @ :45 (33 32 31 30)
