T-100

A new P.R. (which, in the pool is the only time I record "personal records" during training, and at that only my T-100 pace, which is how long it takes to swim 100 yards) today in the water - 100 yards in 1:22, besting my old P.R. by 2 seconds. Completely shocking to me. Of special interest is now much stronger my left side felt after all this therapy I've been doing to strengthen my hip and back - I found it much easier today to keep my left elbow up high out of the water, which gave me a lot more power and strength during my catch. The pool was closed for maintenance last week, so this was the first time in a week I'd been swimming, and I felt really strong. Yeah baby!

(Oh, and ps - if work wasn't so busy I could finish posting my $.02 about the IMWI swim. Anyway, I'm working on it, in case any of you are sleepless with anticipation.)
