I chose to do an on-the-fly 2500M today. I had limited time, so started out with longer breaststroke and freestyle sets and ended up with shorter 50s of both. It was not a day that I would break any time records. I will try to fit in an 800m freestyle as a part of my tomorrow workout.

AI Evaluation
This wasn’t designed as a race-test day, but there are several encouraging points:
- Your 100 m breaststroke repeats (1:48.6 and 1:47.6) were close to your best training speed despite being embedded in a larger interval workout.
- The 150 m breaststroke in 2:39.2 corresponds to a pace of about 1:46.1/100 m. While it’s not directly comparable to a 200 m race, it’s consistent with the strong breaststroke performances you’ve shown over the past week.
- Your freestyle remained controlled throughout the session, with late-workout 100 m repeats of 1:33.8 and 1:36.8, indicating good speed retention under fatigue.
Road to Huntsman
Your trend over the past several workouts continues to be strongest in the 200 m breaststroke:
- 7/19: 3:59.5
- 7/30: 3:45.6
- 8/3: 3:41.3 (best)
- 8/4: Maintained race-quality breaststroke pace during interval work rather than regressing.
The consistency of your breaststroke pace across consecutive workouts suggests that the improvement isn’t just a single exceptional swim—it’s becoming repeatable. That’s an encouraging sign as you continue building toward the Huntsman World Senior Games.
