2 x 25 @ 50 ! ALL OUT!
100 easy @ 230
2 x 25@ 40 ! ALL OUT!
100 easy @ 230
Idea of this set is to not Die through it...it is choice stroke but if you're going 15. for the first 2 x 25s you want to hold 15. on the last 2 x 25s. This early in the season there is still a lot of rest on these sets but don't worry it will get harder as the season goes :) ! That was our first real taste of speed.
200 easy choice

Total 2000m
Yearly Total 33, 900m

3 x 100 @ 130/ 140/ 150 /2

4 x 50 Best average @ 60/ 70

The idea of this set is to decend each individual set...ultimately trying to negative split everything as well such that the last 200 of your final 400 is the starting point for your 200s...last 100 of the final 200 is your start point for the 100s! Definitly a good challenge! It's also a national level set so congradulations just for finishing!!
300 easy

Total 3000m YAY! first one of the year! Well done!

October 1st

"Its so important to embrace the process towards a goal in order to fully achieve/accomplish the highest level of Success!"
- more ore less the quote of Piere Lafontaine -Director of Swim Canada!
I wanted to throw this in here because every day that we come to the pool and walk through the door...i assume that people want to improve and get faster...so often we forget that its the little things day in and day out that are so important in achieving these goals...whether its streamlining off the walls or finishing your stroke by your hips...it all matters! I hope that if anyone ever gets the chance to listen to Piere they should! But its this notion that I believe truely sums up not only my role as a coach but the roles of each individual swimmer. I hope anyone can take this and apply it to anything they do!
