3000 (21000/121200)

200 swim (warmup)
4 x 50 dolphin kick on 1:10
4 x 50 flutter kick on 1:30
6 x 100 non-free, 75 drill / 25 build (back, back, breast, breast, back, fly) on 2:10
5 x 200 free on 3:45, 1-3 pull, 4-5 swim
300 free, smooth
200 IM, broken by 50 (:10 rest between each 50)
100 free, fast (1:35)
200 pull, breathe every 5 (warmdown)

Total: 3000

My butterfly continues to get worse and worse. I don't know if it's because I'm getting discouraged, or I'm just still getting back into shape after the Spring/head cold break, but it makes me sad faced. I like butterfly. I want to get good at it. Perhaps I will ask to do some today in stroke clinic. Assuming my triceps don't succeed from the union of my collective arms.

Also, I need more work on breath control. On that 300 free smooth I forced myself to swim at a pace that allowed me to breathe bilaterally the whole way. Generally, I can only do that for about 100 yards, then I have to switch to breathing right only. I think this is affecting my endurance. Blah blah blah, long story short, breathing needs work.

  1. What exactly is a 'free, smooth'?

    And how is your butterfly getting worse?
