Best "Animal Kick" Set EVER today!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 4:47pm (February 8th, 2011)

I didn't even intend to swim an animal kick set today.  For those unfamiliar, the animal kick set is a benchmarking set I used to do in college:10x100's yards on the 1:30 best averageIn college I used to average about 1:17 (I think).  Today I was planning on just doing my typical 5x100's after my warmup.  However today, my first 100 was a 1:13 without really trying.  I would say that's pretty respectable.  I told myself, lets see what the second one is and I'll decide on whether or not to go for the animal kick set.  The next one was a 1:12... it's on. The rest of the set was tough but it all paid off.  I clocked some of the fastest times of my entire life:
 1:13
1:12
1:11
1:10
1:12
1:12
1:11
1:12
1:12
1:13
1:12
For a grand total of a 1:11.8 average.  My best ever by over a second!  I couldn't be happier with my recent progress.  I'm finally on the right track!
