??????
Maybe it was because the water wasn't about 92 degrees like it usually is.
Maybe it was because Eric was kicking ass in the lane next to me making 4200 yards look like a walk in the park.
Maybe it was because I had a MUCH better long run last night of 13 miles and I think Wednesday night long runs will work perfectly for me.
Or, maybe it was because we had a nice picnic in the park after my run last night and enjoyed the sunset over the lake.
I don't know WHAT it was but somethin' made me fast today.
My 100s that I was swimming leisurely to steady were, instead of being around 1:50, were around 1:41. ???????????????????
Then, after 3000 yards, I did 3 X 100 as hard as I could....and......
(are you ready for this?)
.......DID THEM ALL UNDER 1:30????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like, each one of them????? The fastest was 1:27????????????????
What the HECK????
This is a good thing, of course, but I am just shocked. I haven't done a 100 under 1:30 in a loooooonggg time. Let alone THREE at the end of a 34oo yard workout!!!
Competitive Sara wonders what she could do if she was on fresh arms and legs.......
(Competitive Sara needs to GO AWAY NOW)
Anyway, I am pretty pumped. Definitely a good start to my day!

Glad to hear the training is going well!
Holy moly, like 45 seconds for up and back in our 25m pool? IN MY DREAMS. YOU GO, Competitive Sara!
That's so great! I'm sure you'll do it again next week!
Rock 'n roll, or in technical terms, stress, recovery and adaptation. This training thing really works. Awesome.
You've got mad skills in the water. What a great swim!
You were looking strong in the pool this morning. With your awesome flip turns, you make me look like a dork with my touch and go.
I love days like that. It makes the hard ones well worth it. Maybe it took a trip to the canyon to get you off of the plateau!?!
You and elizabeth are swimming great! I need to learn from you two. Keep up the great workouts!
Awesome job on the swim!! You're a rocket ship!
