Ann Arbor Masters Team

Tonight I practiced with the Ann Arbor Masters Team at the Mack Pool! This was my first practice with the group. Rodolfo Palma was our coach for the night. He planned a well balanced sprint/mid-distance main set of backstroke/freestyle which kept me on my toes. The main set were 200's, 150's, 100's and 50's twice through. Overall I was pretty worn down due to my 3+ hour practice the night before. I wasn't very impressed with my times at all but it was a good workout. I was doing the 200's on the 2:15-2:20, the 100's on the 1:05 and the 50's on the :29-:32. The main set ended with a 100 Backstroke for time, I took 2 minutes rest and busted out a 54.xx from a push which was a nice way to end the evening.

It was great to meet some fellow Masters swimmers from Ann Arbor (unfortunate that it's taken this long). I will definitely attend another Ann Arbor Masters practice, it was challenging and offered some great sets. I think we swam about 4k in 1.5 hours. If anybody is interested, Ann Arbor Masters practices M-W-F at the Mack Pool from 6:30pm-7:00pm. I really wish I could make it more often but already pay for a membership to EMU's pool. Thanks for a great workout Rodolfo!
