This is a test week for swimming. We're going to do another 400m time trial to see if we've made any improvements in the last month. According to the calendar we got at the start of the season, well be doing this test on Friday. According to the coach this morning, we'll be doing the test today.
I guess that settles that.
Luckily I haven't been shoveling snow for most of the weekend. (Oh wait, yes I have.) Well, I guess then this will be a case of "fake it until you make it". I know I complained a while back about feeling like I'm regressing, so this was a chance to actually find out. I knew that I had screwed up my pacing last time out, so I wanted be a little more even, and hope to finish in the 7:05-10 range.
Things worked a little better than expected, and I hit the wall bang on 7:00. The splits broke out as approximately 1:40/1:45/1:48/1:48, so I kept everything in check and had a solid swim. I must be getting better. Once more, I'd never have pegged myself as being able to knock out 4x1:45/100m. I'm still not good, but I suck a little less than I did.
