3150 yard backstroke in 23.10 at the end of practice
Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 11:18pm (January 31st, 2012)
We had an unexpected hard practice on Tuesday evening. The practice began with an ab session and should have moved on to a short speed pool workout. We were surprised with a long 2 hour workout which included 40 x 25y swims at race pace. Each of the two rounds were capped off with a 50y swim from a dive timed. My first 50 was a 23.3. I knew I could swim faster. The second round was even better with a 23.10! Probably my fastest time ever in practice, and happend after 5,000 yards. Not too shabby for me.
