So for tonights workout, we did relay races. It ended up being boys against the girls, so Sebastian and myself took them on. The first one was IM, which of course, starts with the butterfly. and I was not allowed to wear fins for this butterfly either. It was ugly. By the halfway point, I was kinda doing a whip kick rather than dolphin, so that I could get some kind of forward propulsion. And I had to do a flipturn/somersault before Sebastian could take off. He then had to do 2 lengths, back-stroke and breast stroke, and I got to finish it off with freestyle. It was a close finish, virtual tie. Well done teams.
Next relay, we decided that we should use a hand signal for when to take off, and not have someone do two in a row, allowing us some recovery time. This was an all-out freestyle race, and was a blast. I dont know if we finished that close, but doesn't matter.
Third time was for fun. We had to pick up rings off the bottom, which is very hard to do after you have been swimming hard. We had to do 10 bobs at the end after a hard length. fun fun fun.
next was 6x50 back then free sprint, on a pyramid. First three get progressively harder, then last three get progressively easier.
Then 4x100 IM. We did a length of butterfly, then one-armed on the way back, full again, one armed. We were running out of time, so we just did 50s for the breast, back and free.
A quality workout, and lots of fun beside.
