Busy week last week. I swam M-W-F but didn't have time to post about them. Nothing really to report anyway. I was just swimming to stay sane during a week chock full of meetings and work.

Breast is decent lately. I've been working on transitioning from pullout to breakout a bit faster. I think I'm gliding too long and losing some of the power of my pullout.

Also, on the catch... It just works better for me to get my hands and forearms perpindicular to the bottom early rather than Quick's press out to the Y... I'm going to have to get some outside opinions on this but it's faster if I do the butterfly-ish catch.

200 br - 2:38.07
50 br - 33.5

Mixed feelings here. I thought my 200 time would be faster because I've been working on breaststroke so much. But I really didn't swim it with much fire, so I'm not totally surprised. I was pretty long the whole way...

My 50 time is an improvement of almost 4/10s of a second, pretty happy with that. I felt like I had a better feel on the water than the first time I swam it this year.
