A Strong Swim Workout

Just checking in with some notes regarding today's swim (3500 yards):

• W/U - 1x(400+4x100+4x50)
• Pre-set - 10x50K (:30RI), 20x25S FAST (:30RI)
• M/S - 12x125S (:20RI) 

Before I get to my notes, when I look at that workout, I see that it doesn't have a cool down.  What makes me laugh is that I know Frank simply forgot to include one, or realizes that I'm smart enough to handle my own, but if it's not there, I don't do it!  I don't know what it is, but there's something about following a plan EXACTLY how it's written.  I've encountered omitted items, or incorrect distances and speeds before, but in those cases, I've reached out to my coach beforehand and got it corrected.  Would it have been wise to do at least a 100 yard cool down?  Of course!  Would it have only taken a couple of more minutes?  Sure would!  Did I do it?  NOPE!

OBSERVATIONS/NOTES - I've been really concentrating on getting an early vertical catch with the left arm.  In fact, I've found myself OVER EXAGGERATING the motion on a few occasions.  I'm also making sure that BOTH thumbs are grazing my hips at the end of my pull.  I notice that my triceps feel more of a burn now and my arms get tired more quickly, but that means I'm getting stronger with better form.  During this workout, I felt MUCH stronger and more efficient than usual.  For my 25s, I was getting down to 12 seconds and thought that I saw 11 seconds on a few.
