My elbow was a bit sore this morning. I think it was from all the raking yesterday, so maybe I should stop doing that. I'm sure my wife will be happy about that decision. It wasn't really painful, just tender, and more than once I thought about calling it a day early in the pool. I didn't, and I'm glad I didn't, because I actually had a pretty good swim.
Most of the day was very easy stuff, with only a hard timed 200 thrown in every so often. I think my lanemates aren't really impressed by my speed when leading on the easy sets, since I take them very easy. That's the point, isn't it? I work on my form and cruise along (with a bit of a log-jam behind me). Then we get to the hard stuff, and I start pulling out some bigger gaps. Easy should be easy, hard should be hard. That's how I do it.
I was hoping to keep my pace for the hard 200s under 3:30 each time, and mission accomplished. The last set was fastest, because the last set was also when I finally figured out/remembered to focus on form, that I wanted to use my best possible stroke as fast as I could, rather than going faster with the best stroke I could manage at that intensity. It's a subtle change, but it works. More form work necessary, as always.
