Warmup: 400 swim, 300 drill, 200 kick, 100 scull.
Main set:
6x125 [75 free, 50 breast w/dolphin kick].
12x25 sprints on. :30.
Cool down: 150 ez.

So went to the pool late, after getting home from my bike crash today. Left knee not feeling so great, but hoping I can do something in the pool to move it around and make it feel less stiff. Thinking movement will help it feel some better. Also, it was a fabulous day with beautiful sunshine and temps in the low 70s. How could anyone resist an afternoon swim like that?

Warmup felt OK and on the 200 kick I started off easy, but the more I kicked the better the bum leg felt, so I kind of did a "build" on the kicking portion. For drills I did 75 fist, 100 OK 50 head tap, 75 fingertip.

Then after the warmup coach asked if I wanted to continue or just cut it short and get out. He's worried for some reason that I might overdo. He should know me better by now. I told him I wanted to keep going. So I did the 6x125 and that felt good. The sprints were a little tough. I was barely hanging on and making the interval by the end. Of course, I remember when I couldn't even hold this interval. It's only been since June 2011 I've been able to swim 25s on the :30, so I guess I should be happy that I can do so many on that interval.

Short cool down because I was already just past 1 pm at this point (which is when the swim session ends). When I got out my knee felt better than before the swim. Of course, in the meantime it has stiffened up. Oh well. I will swim again tomorrow morning. That should help, I hope.
