After a couple of months of only swimming the SCM (or SCY) pools, it was a bit of an adjustment back in a LCM pool. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, better even, but once you get accustomed to a turn and push-off every 25m, you miss that, especially on hard sets. Like when you're doing hard 100s, in the SCM pool that second fifty is "go hard to the wall, get a good push for a few second break, then just 25m to go". In the LCM pool, once you've made that turn, it's Survivorman all the way to the end.
Another day with the big boys (and girls), and another day of earning my place. I sat in second position for the early part of the workout, and somehow ended up leading the final 10x100 set. Nobody swam over me, so something was working right. Based on how I feel right now at my desk, I think I'll be sleeping well tonight.
