Another Day, Another 3k

Not great breakthroughs to report this morning, but still another good swim. I was hitting solid times on all the sets. My HIM pace work was a shade slower than Monday, but it was after a few hard 100s, so fatigue was definitely an issue. The end of the workout was sprints, and because we were all ready at the same time, I ended up racing a couple of guys from Lane Two. I actually think I may have been winning the sprints, or at least not getting dropped like a hot rock. The coach pointed out that I was finally finishing my stroke even when sprinting, so that's a very good sign. I'm feeling even more confident that I can nail a solid swim (which for me will be 37-38 minutes), and use the rest of the day to make up about 100 positions. (I'm considering about a ticker on my handlebars to keep track.)
