USRPT Masters Snapshot


This is what a USRPT workout looks like.  This is a masters workout, I'm not 12. I'm 61.  This workout is focused on 100 butterfly.  My goal 'race pace' is 1:05/1:12 yards/scm.
Minor variances include a stop, which is a mental fail, and no 'race pace' set for the 15 yard starts.  Included in the 15 yard work is a variance of the streamline dolphin kick(SDK).  I am using a double leg kick(DLK).
