Being Tested


Swim practice was at PSU Stott Center, Portland today. It's great to have pool lanes and paddles to help you with form! Coach gave them to me to help improve form, and its great to see how much it helps! I swam about 1250 yards, I wasn't able to finish the final set or cool down but next time will be better. I need to find a local practice and train during the week!  We were tested on speed today and will tomorrow during our run too.

My first 3 sets of 200 were 7:15, 7:08 and 7:18 minutes. I have no idea what it all means now (except slow, I'm sure), but I'm sure I'll figure it out after a good nights rest. It will be good to see how I improve over the next few weeks. I think I was trying too hard though, I may try taking it down a notch so that I'm comfortable when I do the full 1.5 K swim.
