I swim in 7 days! Threshold workout today!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 7:32pm (June 19th, 2012)

Next Tuesday morning I swim the 100m Backstroke in front of 15,000 people.  I'm really looking forward to the experience.

I joined the Middle Distance group again today.  I find that I feel more comfortable with the MD workload.  Their practices are challenging every single day, something I've yearned for since joining CW in April of 2011.  The main set today was threshold:

1 x 50m Brown @ :55
1 x 100m [50m free + 50m Specialty] @ 1:35
1 x 100m orange backstroke @ 1:45
1 x 100m brown @ 1:35
1 x 100m orange backstroke @ 1:45
1 x 100m [50m free + 50m Specialty] @ 1:35
1 x 50m Brown @ :55 

I lead a lane which was going on the slowest possible interval (others did the 100's on 1:20).  I warmed down 400m and decided to join the Olympic Sprint group and busted out a 35m sprint from the blocks butterfly.  I was haulin, my butterfly feels fantastic.  I'm really looking forward to my 100m fly at trials!
