Interesting swim this morning, kind of a hodgepodge of stuff, but with some serious speed work thrown in. After the usual warm-up, and some time spent on drills, we got to do sprints as a group. Two heats, 7 or 8 people spread over six lanes (lots of room). 8x25 on 60". I was in the second (slower) heat. I got pipped during the first few, but then my endurance/tenacity kicked in, and finished first for the remainder. Then we did a block of easy work, which included a drill called 'truck and trailer', which basically translates to "take turns dragging another swim across the pool". Something different, and definitely not fun to pull someone hanging on your ankles. After that, it was another round of sprints. 8x25 on 60". This time I was pretty much a front-runner from the get-go, except for the last 2 sprints. It was then decided to have one heat, 15 people in six lanes, going full bore. I guess this was somewhat like the insanity of a mass-start. I held my own here, so not a bad morning.
Between the sprint blocks, I was moved to lane 4 (one faster). I doubt this was a permanent move, mainly just done to balance the lanes for 'truck and trailer' (they had 3, we had 5). Maybe sometime in the coming weeks I'll get my promotion.
