Saturday, November 29 - Distance Per Stroke workout

Lots of stroke counting today... It was good to focus on distance per stroke, since I feel like a spaz for a while after a long pool layoff. Nerdy Fashionista hung in for a good 2000 yards while feeling like crap, so that bodes well for future, non-crappy feeling workouts!

W/U: 200 sw, 200 pull, 200 kick, 200 choice, 200 variable speed = 1000 yd

450 pull
count strokes each length for the first 150; 2nd 150 stroke count -1; 3rd 150 stroke count -2
(my stroke count was 17, 16, and 15)
200 kick
450 swim
same as first 450
(I managed a length with a 13 stroke count on the last 150!) =2100 yd

4x75 faster, stroke count -1 =2400 yd

200 drill
100 kick
100 fast drill = 3200 yd

100 warmdown
=3300 yd
