Back from the South


Just back from Hilton Head and boy does it feel good to get in cool water again. This is the gorgeous pool I swim in there, and I LOVE it more than anything, but I always feel pretty fast when I return from 84 degree water to home.

*warmup: 4 x 175's with one length stroke

*100 kick scull in IM order, 4 x 25's fly, 200 strong free

*100 kick scull in IM order, 4 x 25's breast, 200 strong free
*100 kick scull in IM order, 4 x 25's free, 200 strong IM

*2 x 100's free relaxed, 100 IM strong
