5 laps: Another milestone! Today I did all 5 laps without rest between lengths. This means a go for 50 mtrs. Cool! My open turn though is very sloppy. Sometimes I kick off only from one foot - pathetic. But this still requires me to take 2 minute rests in between laps. This 2 min rest is my next target for reduction. Remember train the mind for MENTAL TOUGHNESS! How to improve turns? Do a better open turns, a flip turn? Backstroke tombstone for 1 arms keep feet kicking, maintain velocity. Sun is really out and hot. Put on Coppertone Sport to shoulders and upper arms after eating brunch. To add fun to workout, use fins.
