Tri swim practice 8/29

In today’s Tri swim practice, we will be working on controlled pacing in three separate ‘blocks’. The first two blocks will have a short pace segment (50s) sandwiching a slightly longer controlled swim, while the third block will be a basic descend to finish off the practice. In between the blocks are active recoveries.

Be sure while you are training to set both a time and technical goal, while also to remember WHY you are in the water today. Each practice completed is a small step towards a larger goal, and keeping that in mind helps provide motivation and focus 🙂
