Set 1: I successfully made 16/20 (missed 2 intervals + 2 50’s rest after each miss) at 34s with a flip. It is hard for me to judge speed right now as I had several at 31/32 seconds. I’m not sure if I could do a full 500 at that pace though only making 16 of 20.
Completed 800 yards at race pace.
Set 2: Backstroke felt terrible as my under water fly kick is awful and my pull seemed real weak. I wasn’t getting the DPS I would like. I made 14/20 (missed 2 intervals + 2×25 rest after each). I think I should have made 17/20 but on my 2nd miss I wasn’t focusing and went real slow for some reason. I definitely think I could go ~1:08 in the 100 back right now. The pace didn’t feel fast. I think I was just tired from the 50’s.
Completed 350 yards at race pace.
I’m not sure if I’m going to have time/energy for a practice tomorrow as I’m taking a friend to the airport and trying to play some water polo tomorrow night.
