Second time using the cordz, first set seems easy but by the third set you get a little worn out. Although I'm right-handed, it's easier to pull with my left arm. I use a mirror to make sure my elbow is high throughout the routine. First two sets I didn't take a break, but took about a twenty second break on the third set.

Almost got a little sick tonight at body pump, might have been the interval work I did prior. Feel fine now.

This was to be an easy ride since I have an event next week, so instead of taking a lot of hills, we just did a few hills. Very humid today and we started with 10 riders. Two dropped out because of the pace (non-club members) and Nicole got sick about five miles out. So her husband came out to pick her up. Good ride overall. Max Speed 41.8 mph, so yes, some crazy hill work.

We had quite a few of us there this a.m.:  Ryan, Jason, Jeff, Chris, Eric, Scott G., and Kevin.  I've found that using the snorkel is a good way to practice the high elbow recommended in Swim Speed Secrets.  I also feel we're on to something with it because today I felt I was improving and keeping up with the pack.

Moss Creek 50-meter pool. Still working on the high elbow with my pool and it isn't exactly coming naturally. Still work to do, plus the strength training, bands should be in soon.

I would have NEVER survived this workout without the group there this a.m. and they were there in force.  I also gave Ryan my "Swim Speed Secrets" book and I'll just order another one for me.  I want him to go through it so he can start having classes on Sundays for our members and put our Go Pro camera to work.  

And yes, we used fins this a.m.
