Slow, but it was supposed to be

Today was better than Friday, but it would have been some trick to be worse, eh? The pace was down, all aerobic work today, long sets with not much rest. I still feel like something is off, that I'm not getting the pace I should with the effort I'm contributing, but all I can do is keep working and keep focusing on what I can control. Sooner or later it has got to straighten out. I can pretty much guarantee I'll be doing a stroke improvement clinic once Tereza gets back from training camp. I need the help at this point. (But, it will be noted, I'm faster than I was last year, so I can't complain too loudly.)
