It's my wife's birthday today. I left early to go home and make her some birthday breakfast.

I was surprised by the 33/32 on those 50s. I was really working on getting my head back to center quickly after breathing. It really helps me to get a good strong forward drive after a breath. It doesn't take a lot of effort to do, either. It takes focus to make myself do it, but it's not fatiguing. It'll be interesting to see how it affects longer swims. It sure has helped 50s these last two days.
