"Looking Good In The Water"

Today was my weekly swim with ONE Multisport with Frank as the coach on deck.  I typically get to practice between 5:10AM - 5:15AM to get in an extra 1200 - 1500 yards.  This is also one of the only times I get to put on my pull gear as well....I LOVE pulling!  Here is what we/I did (3650 yards):
  • Before practice = 750S, 750P
  • W/U - 8x50S, 8x25K, 200S
  • M/S - 4x25S MAX (:30SI), 50S (1:00SI), 6x25S MAX (:30SI), 100S, 8x25S MAX (:30SI), 200S, 4x50S MAX (1:00SI), 300S
  • C/D - 50S
Just like yesterday, I felt very efficient today.  It seemed like I was going faster with less effort.  I was holding more water and getting more distance with each pull.  I also tried to increase my turnover as well.

My initial assessment of my performance was only solidified when Frank told me, at the end of practice, that he noticed an improvement.  He said that there was a distinct difference between this swim and last weeks.  About 2 hours later, he sent me the following text:
  • "Looking good in the water this morning!!!
Later in the evening, I saw him again at our ONE Multisport members meeting, and he reiterated his observations again.
