I cannot remember the whole workout from yesterday. This is the reason that I should log these efforts immediately or soon thereafter, like today. That is the complete workout with notations.

I just looked at the past logged workouts and that has prompted me to remember the rest of yesterdays workout. It was said after workout that we had officially logged 2500 meters and I think that we were assigned 4x200 on 3:30 for warm down, add it up.

Was there some swim downs between the 50s and 100?

2500 meters

Short Course, Short Day

I tried to say yesterday that I was tired. Coach Kandis told me that I needed to roll to my side more to lessen the fatigue. I meant I was Tired. Like my back is tired, I did a good ride on Monday in addition to swimming.

Lost in Paradise

Take a look at this article from several years prior, I believe it explains the revolutionary, at the time, concept of what is presently known as the wave breaststroke.

That is yesterdays workout is lost but I do remember that we totaled 2800 meters and I was in the pool at 0624.

We did do a
4,3,2,1 warm up.
I think yesterday was stroke day and I tweeted such..
Now, if I can remember the rest of the workout.Nope.Darn. Felt strong and smooth during fly work.

What and Yesterdays workout

Here is the first page of article co authored by Kurt Grote, MD world famous breaststroker.
We all use the modern style of breast stroke kick he described first several years ago. It involves a much narrower kick overall, with emphasis on the pushing motion created by the dropping of knees inaddition to bringing pelvic floor forward to form a platform for the upper body to 'leap' or surge forward from.
