Another good swim today, though very little breaststroke. Did the usual 300 warmup, 1/2 free and 1/2 breast, and then did "mini" ladders. 100 free, 150 kick, 200 free, 250 kick, 200 free, 150 kick, 100 free.
One thing I did notice is that my freestyle is pretty slow when I'm "pacing" myself during longer sets. I think I'm causing a lot of drag by not paying enough attention to my kicking. On my last lap, I went a bit harder than most of the day and found my whole body position in the water was more streamlined. I was kicking harder and pulling harder to finish strong.
Have I been taking it easy, too easy, during my swims to get through? Maybe I need to push myself harder in the water like I have been on the runs and cycling...
