"Speed" pace mornings!

This morning was focused on "speed" however we began with a 30 minute dryland set which was really quite brutal.  As a whole it wasn't bad but certain portions just desolated me to the point it made the rest of the set quite tough.

 I had a moment of glory when I went faster than any other sprinter in the 25 yard swim with fins.  Keep in mind these times are actually swimming, not underwater kicking (which is faster).  I began with high 8 second swims while others were mid and low 8's.  Through the set I kept finding more speed and ended up winning the last heat and scoring the fastest freestyle swimming time of 7.9 seconds!  The second fastest swimmer was Scott at 8.1 seconds.  There aren't many days I can say I was the fastest of the group.  Today was one of those days!

Other swimmers swam most of it underwater and went even faster than I did.  I think Ian was a low 7 second swim by kicking 15+ meters underwater.  Very fast times from everybody!

I just think it's amazing that I (or anybody) can cross a short course yards pool in 7 seconds!
