Monday Morning Swim

I woke up feeling a bit stiff but still headed to swim.  Wasn't the hardest workout in the world so it was doable for me.  The morning sunrise was beautiful making the chill in the air worth getting up so early.  My iPhone picture doesn't do the morning sunrise justice.  It was a very pretty sunrise.  Picture was taken on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and San Vicente near the pool.

Warm Up

400 Swim

2x100's 50 drill / 50 swim (200/600)

2x100's 50 kick / 50 Swim (200/800)

Main Set:

400 Swim on 5:30 (400)

2x200's Swim Fast on 3:00 (400/800)

4x100's Swim Pace on 1:20 (400/1200)

400 Swim (200 DPS / 200 Race Strategy) (400/1600)

4x50's Kick on 1:10 (400/2000/2800)

50 easy (50/2850)

Hmm...then we did a warmup stroke set.  50 Kick / 50 drill / 50 swim (150/3000)

Stroke Set: (i did these butterfly)

2x

50 Swim on 50

4x25's on 30 (300/3300)

And that was it.  I felt pretty good swimming.  Still streamlining is a bit of an issue.  Keeping my right arm extended still bothers my shoulder area a bit.  But when swimming and keeping in motion I feel pretty good.  The 400's free were so easy only if I didn't have to do flipturns and streamlines.  Hmm...a 400 yard pool would be one damn long pool.  Butterfly seemed pretty easy too.  In fact afterwards the coach commented that my timing seemed to be better.  Guess not swimming much butterfly is working.
