Not an outstanding swim, but I def can’t be mad. The 100s bk were a struggle, as were the first and second IM, though I dug a little bit for that last one. I didn’t feel that high in the water, so it never felt like I was gliding, but I kept great form and was really focused on stretching my strokes out and kicking and breathing.

I also reflected a little on the injury journey and when I couldn’t even breaststroke kick at all, and now I can do IM set again! And I’m not even close to being finished, but I need to continue to be patient and consistent and I hope that I will finally be free of the neck and knee for a long time. Then it will take some form correction to avoid further aggravation, because blessed are the times that my body is whole and I have to not take it for granted and keep good care.
