I'm very excited about the workout I enjoyed this am at Kerr Y Masters. It was a long set of 2000 yds. I joined the faster half of the group, in the slower of those two lanes. The set was 5x100s, then 4x125s, 2x250s, & 1x500 yds. I swam last of the four swimmers, maintained TI technique and balance, counted my SPL, and wasn't overly concerned with fast times. Yet, I did not fall behind, nor gas out.
By the end of the 125s, the other gents were huffing a little, yet I felt good. I swam second in the first 250, then led the second 250. It was awesome for me to lead the lane, and not be compromising my balance whatsoever, in order to maintain the pace. I continued to think over and over how fortunate I am to have just some level of mastery in TI technique, which guarantees efficiency, and produces endurance. Arm recovery, wide tracks, hip drive...and many other focal points echoing in my head.
The final part of the set was the 500, and it was the most enjoyable 500 I've swum in over 20 years! TI provides yet another breakthrough.
