Distance: 600 yds.
Time: 15 min.
Focused on 45-degree stroke, straight pull and two-beat kick. The new two-beat rhythm felt completely automatic. John helped time my 100's. I stayed at a time of 1:51 with this new technique, much faster than the 2:05's of the previous technique ... and this was after a bad illness! During the nights of pneumonia, I would dream and dream about swimming. I would dream about my deep longing to swim. Most of all, I would dream about swimming with the two-beat kick. My brain was processing this new motor skill while sleeping! During this workout, it felt as though I had never swum any other way. ... On the day I got pneumonia, I found out my thyroid disorder has been in remission, even off medication! I am praying it stays in remission, so that I don't experience any more setbacks to this training.
