3000 (18850/71300)

300 swim (warmup)
50 back kick (warmup)
300 dolphin kick with fins, back/front by 25
3 x 50 fast flutter kick (with fins) on 1:15
4 x { 100 kick (with fins) / 100 pull / 100 swim (all on 2:15) }
2 x { 3 x 50 free sprint on 1:30 / 200 free (recovery) on 4:00 }
4 x 75, evens 25 swim/25 drill/25 swim, odds 25 swim/25 sprint/25 swim on 1:30

Total: 3000

I loved the 12 x 100 set we did today. Lots of rest (since I was averaging 1:45 on my 100s), getting to change things up a lot, and pulling. I'm not sure I can describe how much I love pull sets. I'd rather do a 1000 pull than a 200 fast. Bring it on.

Also, I got to see myself swim for the first time today. Evan brought out this huge flat mirror and they put it on the bottom of the pool. Most of the day it was in lane two, but for the 75s at the end they moved it to lane one so we could use it. Evan wanted us to use it for practicing streamlining off the wall, but I really wanted to swim over it so I could see my stroke. He said we can do that another day. I thought it was fun to see my streamline, and I was actually sort of shocked by how good it looked. I cheated on my last 25 sprint and started my stroke early so I could see it, and it looked pretty nice too. Or I thought it did, at least.

And wow, I forgot to post this for several hours. I should probably do that now so I can put in my workout from stroke clinic. Heh.
