Possibly I should have cooled my jets a little bit and done the 100s a 1-2s slower. There were several 34s and 35s mixed in. All of which "wore me down" a bit faster than ideal. I usually hope to get 20+ at target pace, and at least 12 or so before my first failure. Oh well. Once I failed out, I decided to just finish out the set swimming 50s at target pace.
Stoked to swim 15x100 sub 1:37, and a total of 2200scy at that pace.
Monty/DavidD: I've been focusing on my streamline, and breakouts. I'm sure there's still TONS to improve there. My shoulders aren't exactly flexible overhead. But, at least my hands are overlapped and I'm squeezing tight. I also watched a couple Vids on the breakout stroke, so I've also been paying attention to keeping the extended arm in the streamline position, and keeping the first stroke in near the shoulder/body line.
Definitely helps. I'm breaking out about a 1.5-2 body lengths farther down the lane, and don't feel like I have to take a couple of HARD strokes to get back up to pace.
Thanks.
