Swimming Workout Log
Date: November 18, 2008 Morning Workout
Total distance: 800 yards (Short Course Yards)
Main set: 16 x 25yd free parachute (26inch parachute) on 1:30 sendoff - A4 effort (as fast as possible)
Average time: 18.8 seconds
Notes: Felt pretty strong in the parachute today. hit a few 17s at the start, which is a ton of fun when you're pulling 50+ pounds of water behind you! As usual, I followed the shallow stroke, restricted breathing style that seems to work really well with a parachute. The great thing about parachutes is that 50lbs pulling on you really exposes any gaps in your stroke. In normal freestyle you don't notice it. But with a parachute it just stops you dead in the water!
