3 x 50yd freestyle sprints

250yd css w/ fins


  • Notes: The tabata was just like always, wiped me out. CSS with fins is starting to feel much smoother and more efficient. The water tread with the brick was much more difficult than with just legs obviously, but it was still doable. The next time I do this will be the real test, holding it overhead and out of the water rather than under the water. I tried a few seconds of this and it was very tough, but I think its more of a mental thing.
  • body condition: no soreness to speak of.
  • Tomorrow will either be a rest day or a crossfit total.
