Tuesday morning: This is the last week of swim before a two week break before the summer school session begins!
This morning, Marcia changed the warm-up kick with fins from 6x75yd to 5x100yd on a 1:25 minute interval. The 100yd felt alright, and the interval felt luxurious with almost 10-15 seconds of rest (for me). I have a feeling that with time, Marcia will start to shorten this interval!
The main set today was similar to last Monday’s set, alternating between IMs and freestyle:
- 150yd IM with 25yd of two strokes and 50yd of your two favorite strokes (i.e. I swam fly, back, breast, breast, free, free)
- 175yd free, trying to swim the same time on the 175yd free as on the 150yd IM
- Repeat #1 and #2 three more times, total of 4 sets
On the first IM, I misheard the directions and thought we were to do one favorite stroke for 75yd, i.e. 25yd of all other three strokes and 75yd of your favorite and best stroke for a total of 150yd. Obviously, for me, the only stroke I can really do is freestyle, and I did 75yd of freestyle. The moment I finished and touched the wall, I heard Marcia say, “Ann! What are you doing?! You just did three laps of freestyle!” Opps, I guess those were not the directions!
It is amazing how Marcia can spot your one mistake amongst a pool of 20-30 swimmers!
