Triathlon swim sets and a Pocatello Master's team

Happy Thanksgiving week to everyone!  I had a really good training week last week, the first good, full, complete week of training in about three months. I even got in three bike trainer workouts!

Link below to great training advice that is TRIATHLON specific.

Feel For The Water! Advice & Tips to Improve Your Swimming.: The Two Classic Swim Training Mistakes

Great article here about triathlon swim training sets versus swim team and standard masters sets.

I like to do 16x100 at near race pace with a 10-15 second rest, which is also what Swim Smooth is recommending in this.

And it looks like Pocatello is going to get a masters swim program! Wooohooo!  Solves two problems for me:
1. I get some coaching on my technique.

2. Timing is great. Sessions to start at 4:45am, so now I don't have to wait til 6am to swim. This makes scheduling much easier.

and I'll now have peer pressure to get me out of bed in the morning!
