  • 02m 30s /100 yards

OWS at Gunpowder Falls State Park, Hammerman area

windy with tough swells and current. Very hard swimming into the swells; better going the other way, but between the current and the swells I felt like I was swimming sideways.

water was definitely cold, but not so bad; no gasp/OMG reaction.

a bit off my paces; not sure my concentration was all there today. could have done better

6x50 easy :10 RI:
57.6/59.1/59.8/59.5/1:02/59.6

2x500 - try to keep the same pace for each 500. Also, when you go down the pool, practice sighting every few strokes, like you would in open water. Just pick one side going down to do this. So every other 25, you will sight while swimming. :15 RI:
10:14/10:32
I usually sight when I breathe left, but today I felt smoother/less interruption with my stroke sighting from the right breathe
