I'm feeling much better after a good night's sleep. I won't admit to how early I packed it in, let's just say it was early enough to be embarrassing for a healthy 35 year old. But it worked out, and I got in a nice swim this morning.
After feeling out of sorts last week, I was able to get a nice groove going. Nothing in particular stood out, but I felt much smoother moving through the water. For most of the workout, that is. As can be expected by now, as I started to get a bit tired, my form started to go south, which made me work even harder, which made me more tired, which made the form worse. The good news is that I was able to stave off this spiral through the second block we did, but it caught up with me during the third. I can feel it happening, so I need to out-smart myself and convince myself that slowly down the turnover to get a better stroke will work better than splashing as fast as I can.
That, and I need to work more on the flaws in my stroke. Hopefully there will be some stroke improvement clinics once the assistant coach gets back.
