My, it's been a while since I updated this.
Took an easy week after my race. Now using my new toy in the pool, a tempo trainer. Started off with some experimenting to find a good stroke rate. After looking on the swim smooth charts it puts me as high stroke rate for the pace per 100 I was doing. So today I tried for a lower rate. Stroke feels better and I've been doing some good, for me, times but I think it's going to take a while to get to where I want to be, a winter project really. Currently working on 65 down from 69, aiming to get swimming at 65-67 SPM for a pace of 1:35/100m or faster, roughly.
Also on my mind is strength training. This year I spent more time hill climbing, I think it helped so may move into the gym when the snow comes and start pumping iron.
Need to decide on next years targets...
