Fast Twitch -- Week 8 (Friday, May 4)
Friday p.m. short course at UA
600 warmup (300 swim, 300 kick)
8x100 IM on 1:40
1-5 drill, 6-8 swim working on transitions
Rack work:
6x15 on 1:15
Two rounds:
4x25 IM order on :30
100 easy
6x75 free with snorkel on 1:10
6x75 back swim on 1:10
------------------------------
I wasn't going to do much fast stuff in order to prepare for my broken swim tomorrow, but the racks were set up for the first time in a while, and I felt I needed to take advantage of it.
My first day at nationals is exactly two weeks away. I'm starting to wrap myself in that bubble I create in the final days, when my mindset if very focused on fine-tuning everything and getting my mind ready for the six races (not including relays). As I was doing the IM set, I was visualizing myself doing good turns during the 100 IM. I've been doing that for a long time now, but in the final two weeks, things really get mentally intense.
