Fast Twitch -- Week 8 (Saturday, May 5)
Saturday short course
Meet warmup (about 1,600 yards)
I changed into my Speedo brief. Fifteen minutes later:
Broken 100 breast
50 from dive, 15 seconds rest, 25 swim, 10 seconds rest, 25 swim
(54.9)
This time is a little fudged, the two sendoffs were on my feet, which means there was about a second nto accounted for in the turns. But I am happy with the wim. Everything felt good, and I felt strong. The coach and I debated about the 15 seconds rest. He wanted 10. Initially, I was going to do a 50 with 15 seconds rest, then another 50 (no rest at the 75).
I might do another one of these, but not until a week from Monday, maybe. I want to be halfway through my taper so I can see how I am doing. I will actually do the same swim with the same intervals, to judge improvement, which there should be, though not too much.
