Swam 3050 m, 58:50, then they began flashing the lights on and off. 500 m splits: 9:54, 9:42, 9:37 (29:12 out), 9:29, 9:29, 9:39 (28:37 in). I was going to go another 5 laps and call it 2 miles, but the club owners obviously forgot to give me extra time. I was doing a lot of stroke experimentation, mostly pretty subtle stuff involving the hands, wrists, feet and ankles, but also some other, more profound mechanical adaptations. At about 1300 m I hit upon a sweet combination which made 9:30 500’s feel easy. I kinda wish I had gotten here a little earlier.
