Added some distance to the swim today. As per the Total Immersion protocol the warm up is always a drill lap followed by a swim lap in which I try to work the drill into the stroke. Goes a long way towards improving efficiency. Missed posting Saturday's workout so here it is:

I am very pleased with the squat today. I have been trying to just beat the number on the last set and that was not getting me any stronger. So today I tried to go to near failure and made ten. Happy, happy me.
