The main set was pretty tough.

On my breaststroke, I feel a lot smoother if I try to keep my legs and hips high so I feel like I'm positioned "downhill". I'm still slipping in and out of my old habits, and it will take a while before I adapt to the newer downhill, fly-like breast that feels better.

Also, my breaststroke turns blow. I grab the top of the wall, pull up slightly, then turn. I'm going to have to work on that. My breakouts are still weak. Some of them felt good today, but on a lot of them I was just rushing to pop my head up for a breath.
