3800 yards.

I felt pretty good about the IM swims. I can tell that my base has been improved greatly over the summer. My breaststroke split on the second was ~1:29. Still needs to get faster, but it was a pretty good practice swim considering my 100 breast times in practice are ~1:25 avg.

My freestyle pull has gotten better also. I was counting strokes early and was about 12 strokes/25 average. Sometimes my right arm doesn't seem to be getting as much water as my left, but it has improved. When I breathe, I'm keeping my elbow up better now instead of sweeping my arm out to counterbalance my head.
