Strength training at about 60% of usual intensity.
Warmup: 600 smooth, 200 faster

Practice Notes:
Sprints felt a bit tight; due to strength training prior, I think.
100's were smooth and strong all the way. Swam the first four on around 1:25. The last 8 were all spot on 1:15, except for the last, which was 1:11.

Swim Meet: PNA Championships

4/14/2013

Overall, a discouraging day. Both swims much slower than I had anticipated. My arms started to burn shortly after the half way point of each race and I simply crapped out. I'm totally perplexed that I swam so slow. I thought I could go 5:50 for the 500 and 20:20 for the 1650.
500 Freestyle: 6:04.48
1,650 Freestyle: 20:57.52
