First swim of the new year

(I seem to have a theme to my posts here. Let's see how long I can keep it up.)

Back in the pool early this morning. After the better part of two weeks off, it took a while to get anything resembling a groove going on. I still wouldn't say I was quite back to where I was, but it went pretty well.

The "form and technique" part of our training year is over, and we are now working on volume. This may catch up to me after missing another week to run the marathon next week. The volume was up for today, so if you're going to jump in, do it with both feet. I was almost able to finish the prescribed workout, which was 3x1000yds, in a variety of configurations. I finished at 2950 yards, running out of time during the final bit of cooldown.

400y as 100 free, 100 back, 100 breast, 100 free
