Still reeling from last night's 11th inning loss, I packed up my swim gear and headed for the John Jay pool.
Coach Conrad's morning workout was a gift:
400 reverse IM (swim/drill/kick/swim by 25)
300 reverse IM (kick/drill/swim by 25)
5 x100 free (descend by 5 seconds)
Swim the following four times through. The first round is all backstroke, followed by all breaststroke, then fly, and ending with IM order. Use the kick as recovery.
25 kick
25 stroke
25 kick
50 stroke
25 kick
75 stroke
5 x 100s
50 kick/50 pull
50 pull/50 kick
100 pull
100 kick
100 swim free
Rest for 30 seconds, then repeat the set of 5 x 100s
6 x 50 freestyle (50 sprint/50 ez)
It was if, as poet Charles Wright writes, the water spoke and said yes. The liquid world was affirmative, assenting and agreeable.
