The morning swim was fueled by last night's Ben & Jerry's American Cone indulgence :)
I hit every 100 repeat between 1:37-1:38. The fear of not making the 1:40 was too great and pushed a little more. By the 4 x 100 set I grew tired. Soon after it felt as if I wasn't really "tri'ing" at all. I was concentrating on keeping my form inline and my stroke long and forceful. I think it felt "easier" per say because of the amount of fatigue. I am a much better, less mechanical swimmer once tired. The dolphin kicks handed my core my tail!

Not sure where all my power came from today, as I was on freaking FIRE. Oh yea - maybe a little something called recovery and phase 2!

"Cos I'm

T.N.T.
And I'll win the fight
T.N.T.
I'm a power-load
T.N.T.
Watch me Explode!"
