Heart Rate

So one of the other toys I got for my birthday was a heart rate monitor for the pool. I wore it for my two Tri-Swim classes this week and it worked great.

I noticed right away that there were two sets of 4 rising peaks in the middle there where we did two sets of 4x100 build.

Speaking of which, I have always struggled with build sets. I have never been able to find a middle gear. I can go nice and easy, and I can go fast, but being able to control things in the middle has been a struggle.

But today I was finally able to do that with a 2:01, 1:54, 1:48, 1:39 build set! I was super happy with that but hard to celebrate in a group session.
