I felt distinctly lacking in energy before I went to swim today, so I sneaked a mince pie before leaving to see if it would help. I can’t say I felt any better when I arrived at the pool, but my first 50m rep was below 41s and things progressed well from there really with most of my reps below 42s. I did slip outside 43s on a couple of occasions on reps nine and fourteen, skipping the following reps as a result, but my average time for the rest was 41.84s which is only a few hundredths off the fastest I’ve ever managed. Hopefully tomorrow I can push that first fail out a little further.
Surprisingly considering the speed of the 50m reps, my 25m set also went well, with one rep even dipping below 18s which isn’t something I manage too often after a set of fifties and I may not be that far off keeping the whole lot below 19.5s now.
