Heck of a kick set

Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 6:04pm (October 11th, 2011)

We lost 3 of our sprint group while they compete in the PanPac international meet in Mexico.  In their absence we are down to 4 sprinters.  We had a heck of a kick set today.  I'm used to very aerobic kick sets.  This one was rough:

4 x
:20 seconds aqua jog
35m blast kick with chute then easy backstroke to wall, :20 seconds rest
25m blast kick with chute then easy backstroke to wall, :20 seconds rest
50m kick all out for time @ 1:15
35m Dive swim all out for time @ 1:30 
Then some easy swimming:
200 swim
100 kick
200 swim

We did the first two rounds with no equipment and the second two rounds with fins.  It definitely pushed me.  It seemed like we all traded places for who was winning the swim/kicks, I won some, I lost some.  On the 50's kick with a board I was a 33.2 and a 33.4, with fins on and no board, I kicked 35 of the 50 meters underwater and touched in a 23.3 and a 23.4.  On the last round we did a 50 swim instead of a 35 swim.  I touched in a 24.4 but I only did a 15 meter underwater kick.  I certainly held my own today and I know I can improve with more training.
