Mimi's favorite workout (on a weekday this time)
250 warm-up
16 swims, starting with the 200 IM
Interval started on 3:15 and went down to 2:00
Every time you didn't make an interval you decreased 50yd
So I did:
200 IM on 3:15, 3:10, 3:05
150 IM (omitted breaststroke because my adductor was twingy) on 3:00, 2:55, 2:50, 2:45, 2:40, 2:35, 2:30, 2:25, 2:20
100 IM (doing dolphin kick instead of breaststroke) on 2:15, 2:10, 2:05, and 2:10
Also did a length on the bungee belt... almost made it to the flags!
Total distance: 2800yd/1.6mi
Noticed that my fly entry problems (it's really hard to keep my hands from coming together when they should be staying at shoulder width) are probably due to the direction of momentum of my arms on the recovery. When I made an effort to swing my arms forward instead of forward and together my hands were at the proper width on my catch. Sweet!
