Noticeable improvement.

When I started back in the pool a few months ago, I could hardly break the 50M mark in under a minute. This morning I crushed my original speed by almost half, putting in a good showing at 0:33. For a chubby guy like me, that's pretty damn good, and that was swimming a 25M pool with a really crappy kick-turn. I bet I could close in on 0:30 if I had a straight 50M to drop the head and just sprint.

My goggles keep flipping off on my platform entry dives. How frustrating. I'll probably need new goggles for competition and I can still use my good ones for workouts, they are pretty comfy. We did 200 IM 4-team relays this morning, which was fun. I swam my best free time in one leg, and did a so-so back (0:40 maybe?) in another heat.

I'm exhausted today after doing a night-morning swim workout.

On a related note, I'm closing in on the under-200 mark at about 203. :D
