I really liked this swim today, too. I was having trouble focusing on the clock until the 100s at the end, so I have no clue if I was making my intervals, but all three of the 400s felt great to me. I did flipturns on the last one, and those were less great. Still, I'm finally feeling like I have some endurance, and doing a 400 doesn't remotely kill me like it used to. So... yay?

I really liked the 100s, too. Those intervals aren't too difficult for me, and give me enough rest that I don't feel like dying.

The only complaint I have is that Joy is back. And I like Joy, she just doesn't do lane sharing very well. She gets tired fast and stops a lot, but never gets out of the way when she does, which messes up my flipturns (or my ability to attempt one). Also, for those last four 100s, she was wearing fins so she could keep up, and I was worried the whole time she was going to mow me down.

My stomach is totally rebelling today. I think it might be that I drank most of my water after my warmdown, so I put 750 ml into the system all at once. I thought eating would help, and it is a little, but oog. Not shiny.
