SWIM: 2100y in 60 mins
BIKE: 17 miles in 60 mins
Breaststroke day started off with me testing the calf (OK) and watching the YouTubes for breaststroke tips. I know my timing is off in addition to poor kick form. It all looks so easy on video....
In the water is a different story. But luckily today it was just me and BH in the 8th lane. No worry about faster swimmers or slowing anyone down. I was able to focus on form and timing in the drills. All was well until we did 3x200 free. I was called out and up onto the deck (!) for some schoolin'.
CHG said he's not giving up on me. Good. Because he's the 95% reason I come to these sessions. That guy hasn't given up on me since about 2006. If he can see some hope, then I'm banking on that. Either that or he doesn't have the heart to tell me to give up. HAHA. Doubt it.
My current problem is that I'm not up on my side when I start the pull. I know I'm supposed to do that, but to be honest I don't think about it all lately when swimming. I can only focus on one thing at a time. Really. My neurons don't fire at multiple levels when swimming. I've been focused on high elbows and keeping that left arm from sweeping under me.
I tried a length focusing on being on my side. I feel it! My lats felt the strain. Try it again. Arm sweeping under me. (See above!). Try it again. More lats feel. Hang on to this thought and carry it into Saturday's masters.
The bike was cut short since I had to get to work. Another pyramid. Still don't know the goal HR? effort? speed? cadence? I'm supposed to have for these! But I took it easy and selected lighter gears to keep resting that calf. And it was reflected in the mileage.
