Friday master's swim

SWIM: 2300y in 67 mins. WU 1x300 and 8x25 building. MS: 4x100 (20) focus on form, 50k, 4x100 (15) 50e/50f, 50k, then two more 4x100's in a similar pattern. Skipped CD. Full session would have been another 4x100, 50k, and 300 easy pull. !!

My first swim with SD. Actually my first time working with her really at all. She has lots of energy and a positive attitude. In short, it was fun!

The pool was narrow and warm, but in the end it really didn't matter. It's also a bit of a drive for me, but since it's my only Friday workout I might be able to keep squeezing it in. Cuz for sure I wouldn't have done this good of a workout alone at the Y. Nor would I have gotten up at 4am!

I tried the paddles too for 2 100's. They made me very slow and messy, but they slowed my arms down. Maybe that could be a tool to help me focus on my arm technique?

I got sloppy halfway through, not surprisingly. But SD did have some advice: keep the pull shallow with elbows high. She said the same thing everyone does: my left arm has bad form. Just need to work on it!
