Warmdown
Practice Notes:
Good, strong practice.
Warmup and drilling went fine. I felt a bit weak after drilling, but it did not seem to affect me once I started the sprinting.
4 x 50 Sprints on 5 minutes. Timed by stopwatch from pushoff; 28.3, 28.3, 28.2, 27.8. They felt pretty good. I did them all with one breath, at about 35 yd.
12 x 100 on 1:30 sendoff. First four or five felt a bit stiff from sprinting; did them on 1:15, 1:16. Then started feeling good and times dropped to around 1:13. I just got stronger as the set progressed; felt strong, too. Last two swims: 1:12, 1:10.
