I got to the “Y” at 5:45am and all the lanes were taken.  I had to share a lane for a while.  It was cool though because the lanes are wide enough.  I really need to work on my bilateral breathing.  I am not comfortable breathing on my left side.  So the entire session was dedicated to bilateral breathing and stroke form.  I notice that bilateral breathing helps me with my body rotation.  The body rotations and doing long reaches on the stroke was helping me glide better.  I was doing 16 to 17 strokes per 25 yards.  Hmm… I wonder if I can get that down to 12-14.  It is amazing how little things can make big improvements.  I did 5 x 200 all bilateral breathing.  I intend to continue working on this for the next few sessions.

In the afternoon I worked on abs/core.  While the workout had intensity, it was nothing special.  Pretty much plain vanilla.
