200 work on EXTENSION!

4200 yards

Yes, I realized at the end of practice that I haven't been working on my extension lately. I've been trying to center my head quicker on breathing, get a high elbow, keep my hips high, and all of that. But, I've been forgetting about EXTENSION! When I did the last 200 yards working on my extension and really feeling the stretch in my lats, I cut 1-2 strokes per length off (13-14 -> 11-12 strokes/25).

Again, I must repeat my mantra: Everything else follows from EXTENSION. Gotta get back to that.
