Monday's swim was cancelled for the new holiday. That means I got five days rest coming into this morning. It also means I got five days of not waking up at 4:50. The extra sleep was nice, but my nerves about missing my alarm this morning caused me to wake up at 3:10, 3:35, 4:10, 4:25, and 4:47. I'm better when it's a regular part of my schedule.
With the freshness (or staleness) I hit the warm-up, and actually felt pretty good by the last time through the circuit. Not perfect, but better than I expected. Today's main set had some long sets, and I was once again chosen to lead the lane. During the first set, the group was pretty much on my pace, but I did notice during the rest that others had worked harder than I did. The second long set, two of us distanced the group by a few seconds, and during the last one, I lapped all but one of my lanemates. So it seems I was feeling pretty strong today.
There were times when I could my form slipping, so I need to make sure my mind doesn't wander too much during the long sets. I'll lift my head a little, and my left arm doesn't do its share of the work (the catch is sloppy and the pull is too short). When I concentrate, I can take care of that, but until it becomes natural, I need to stay on top of it.
