Another pleasant morning weather-wise, although it took a while to get moving. Normally I'm quick to wake up, but the late Saturday and lack of quality Sunday napping has me in a bit of a hole. Still, it's Monday, and that means swimming.
A good workout this morning, a little bit of everything, and more distance covered than I expected once I added it all up. The little 25 hard/25 easy block was a nice way to tenderize the meat before the 100s on pace times. We usually do the 100s on 2:05 (down from 2:10), but the challenge was thrown down to make it on 2 minutes even. The first repeat was handled nicely in 1:40, then another in 1:45, then 4 repeats where I was fighting for 1:48. I really need to make sure I keep good form once I get tired. Once some fatigue sets in, my form tends to slip, which makes me slower, which makes me work harder to go a certain pace, which causes more fatigue. Quite the downward spiral. When I can keep things moving smoothly, I go faster with less effort, which is kind of the point. After the 100s, there was recovery, and a strength set with paddles, that didn't go too well, since I was well tired by this point. But, I still did the work, and that's what matters.
