Nice workout. Main session was a whole bunch of 25m intervals on a 60-second cycle. Main goal on my new doctrine - focus on propulsion instead of streamlining. Definitely faster like this, but also more tiring. Need to work on swim-specific strength, and transform those lats and deltoids into semi-useful body parts I guess. Anyway, the lengths took anywhere from 22-29 seconds, depending on how bad my form was and how much energy I wanted to expend...

Note that I need to average 1 second per meter to get through the Olympic distance triathlon swim in 25 minutes. Not sure if that's a reasonable goal for 2014, but I won't rule it out until I've been in open water for a fair bit. Which, at this rate, won't be until July...
