Practice Notes:
Warmup felt a bit rough. Breaststroke kicking went fine. Backstroke drilling felt pretty good.
Broken 200 was 2:37.0
100's rough at first due to hard sprinting prior, smoothed out later. 1:45 sendoff felt luxurious. Kept them a few seconds below 1:20, except for the last, which was 1:12.
Warmdown as per usual.
Will rest tomorrow and swim on Saturday.

Swim: 8 x 200 freestyle, steady @ threshold pace (:15 rest)
Warmdown: 10 minutes

Practice Notes:
Pretty good practice. Interesting. 200's taught me that I am still feeling the effects of my exertions last weekend.
Warmup felt good. Fly drilling felt particularly strong and smooth. Sprints felt good, too; fast and strong.
200's: Started out feeling pretty strong and gradually tailed off. Usually I get stronger as this sort of set progresses, but today I could definitely feel my arms flagging a little more with each repeat. First four were on 2:50 sendoff, then went to 2:55 for next 3 and 3:00 for the last. Times gradually fell from 1:32 on the first to 1:42 on the last.
