Toronto Triathlon Club Swimming

Tough slog tonight, but really enjoyable!

Warm-up: 100m swim

This was long and nearly-continuous. I was privileged to lead my lane, so I had to figure out the proper pace pretty quickly. I actually kept us somewhere between 1:50 to 1:40 the whole time, but that got harder and harder. My style is to go harder and have a longer break...

Fins:
4x 100m on 2:20
4x 100m on 2:15
4x 100m on 2:10
4x 100m on 2:05
4x 100m on 2:00
4x 100m on 1:55
4x 100m on 1:50

1x 100m extra

Most of the start-to-middle sets were about 1:45, sometimes up to 1:50. Around 2mins, I dropped us to 1:40s, dipping into 1:38 or so. We finally got killed on the 3rd 1:50 set - we finished exactly at 1:50 and took an extra 10secs of breather before finishing the last one in 1:40 again.


I flipped as much as I could, and I was surprised I could keep it up most of the time. I even got a few good ones in, where I went quite deep and didn't surface till the flags. But most were clumsy without much push-off, or with some crashes with my teammates. :)

Coach still says I cross my arms in front, which is crazy! I feel like I'm flying like an airplane! But she says I still have to go wider with my arms; I was trying my best, and she said it was a bit better.
