So my pseudo-promotion is official. On Wednesdays, I'm up to lane 3. (I suck, and I'm happy about that.) On Mondays and Fridays, this is the most crowded lane, so I'll probably still be kept as the strongman of lane 4, unless my times for the test day are mid-group. I'm almost there.
Just before we got in the water, the coach said to me, "Drew, you're in this lane today." So I was there right from the start. There was only two other people in that lane today, one a regular, the other I've never seen before. We had a good workout, some drills, some descending and tempo work, and more timed 100s. Everything went pretty well, except for all the times I kept hitting my head.
During a backstroke set, I got a distracted and went right into the wall. During the last timed 100, when I was shooting for one more sub-1:30, the new person in the lane (other than me) didn't leave enough room for oncoming traffic, and we collided. Twice. (I still made 1:33.) Then I hit my head backstroking again. Swimcaps don't provide enough protection. Next time I'm wearing my bike helmet.
