Week 18: Getting Stronger

Date: 9/25/13
Yards: 2200
Time: 64 min.
Stroke count: 14-15
Felt: Great
Challenges/Progress: Focused on driving hand flat into water and doing a straight pull as Clint recommended.  This felt comfortable and easy to switch to.  Also learn how to do a side kick drill.
Fears: None
Emotion: Pleased.
Learned:
1) Am going to keep going three days/week on my own and complete the endurance training on Pace Club.
2) Will continue with endurance workouts, but looking forward to training for increased speed.


Date: 9/27/13
Yards: 2350
Time: 70 min.
Stroke count: 15-16
Felt: Great
Challenges/Progress: Focused on driving hand flat into water and doing a straight pull as Clint recommended.  This felt comfortable and automatic.  Need to learn how to do a head lead drill, something my workout called for.
Fears: None
Emotion: Proud, because my mom came in to watch me swim, after having seen me either miserably pregnant or sick with Graves disease for the past 5 years.  Mom was so happy at how much my health has improved and that I am more back to my old self.  She told a little boy and the coach of the swim team that I'm training to swim the Straight of Gibralter ... Anyone who would listen!
