Wednesday's sprints!

Today was supposedly a sprint day, even though it contained way less sprints than I am used to in a sprint workout!

200 free with paddles warm-up
100 breast kick warm-up
4x50 free on 1:00

3x50 fist freestyle drill on 1:00
1x50 free on 1:00
4x50 freestyle drill (kickboard in between legs, reaching back to touch it on each recovery) on 1:15
2x50 free on 1:00

50 fly time trial (with racing start) -- done in :32
100 breast time trial (with racing start) -- done in 1:19

50 free sprint relay -- done with only two breaths
50 breast sprint relay

50 free cool-down

This was technically the end of practice, but we had swum so few yards that even though I was sore from the little sprinting we did and from circuit trianing yesterday I stayed in the pool to swim some more. The IMs had to be swum very gingerly as my right lat was KILLING me, but I got an extra 2300 yards in.

4x200 IM on 3:15 -- repeated on 2:55
4x100 breast kick with 10-15 sec rest
2x500 free with 45 sec rest
100 cool-down

Total yardage: 3600

I'm really glad that I stuck around so that I feel like I at least got a decent yardage in, especially since today and tomorrow are the only days this week that I'm going to get to swim. The meet is coming up in just a few weeks!
