Swam 20x50s (intervals) at the Lone Tree Recreation Center this morning; given packing and moving, this will likely be my last swim until I get settled in Maryland. I swam a 1:45 (1 minute 45 seconds) practice split; this is the total time to swim 50 yards (1 lap or 2 pool lengths) and rest. I start out swimming 50 yards in about 1:10 which means I get to rest for 35 seconds but about half way through my workout, I slow down to about 1:15 which leaves 30 seconds rest. I felt good today; back didn't hurt and my stroke was good (for the most part:). Its a great feeling when your stroke is on; I feel so streamlined and coordinated. When I start to get tired, my stroke starts to suffer and that's when I think about stopping because it doesn't do any good (in my opinion) to keep swimming with improper stroke.
I'll miss the Lone Tree pool; even though they only have 3 lap lanes, there haven't been many people there when I swam so most times I had a lane to myself. Not as intimidated about sharing lanes with people like I used to be because I feel more in control of my stroke and my ability to stay on my side of the lane:)
