OMG, massive lung fail today. I even had to take my rescue inhaler a couple times, and I still got a really nasty stitch on two of those 200 frees. I could actually hear myself wheezing when I was breathing.

Though this did clear something up for me. I attempted to do 25 fly in the 25 free / 25 non and I sputtered and died halfway through the lap. The stroke takes so much power and when I'm not properly oxygenated, I can't even remotely get my arms and legs working enough to get my head out of the water to breathe. I've been kind of irritated at my inability to swim 50 fly consecutively with any consistency because I feel like I should be able to do it. However, after my spectacular fail today, I think my theory about endurance (or the lack there of) is probably pretty accurate. I just don't have the endurance built up enough to swim that much fly in a row. Yet. I will get there, dang it.

I am, however, rather pleased with my times on my 100 free. They aren't great, but I was just more than happy I was making the interval and still getting 10-15 seconds rest. I tried to time my 200s, but I had some issues with running into the two swimmers who were using fins for that whole set (their turns were funny, and they came off the wall really slowly, so I had to stutter in my stroke a bit) and I only got a time on my third one, which was 3:33. At that point we were supposed to be descending from 3:30, so I should have been at 3:10, but bleh. I swam two thirds of that 200 with a stitch that felt like someone was stabbing me in the side.

Whine whine, I know. My lungs were not my friend this morning.
