What Goes Sunday then Comes Monday

Sunday at Ridgway was another confusing day. I wanted to swim with the group and I did, but the group was small and Warren led the attack with his relentless pursuit of long backstroke and 400 IM work. Modifying was the order of the days workout. I really do not have any idea what kind of yardage I swam, I can only approximate. There was some quality hypoxic work towards the end and I must have swam around 4000 yards.
Lots of breaststroke too.
warm up of 500-1000 choice, kick
8x50 on 60
3x100 free: swim, kick, swim
3x100 free: kick, swim, kick
8x25 swim
3x100 breast: swim, kick, swim
3x100breast: kick, swim, kick
8x25 swim
no back for me, I started to do 50 breast repeats, descending
10x50 Texas 25, 5xsecond 25, 5xfirst 25

Monday at PHS is so organized, but then it is a coached workout too. The water is very warm, I would say 82* plus. DeaAnn mentioned to me that I could go hard,meaning the full workout, singling me out because of the big meet in 11 days that I will now begin the sharpening, tapering process. She has an eye on me.

5000 yards, 300 kicks were 250 so 4850 yards

I think coach went to a USA Swimming meet over the weekend and she had a bit of a rant going about the suit issue. She also touched on the dolphin kick ruling on the breaststroke, noting that there has been issues with the interpretation of the kcik.
