I'm losing count of days...but a GREAT swim

Today I swam for about 2 hours. It was great. Because we were in San Diego I got out of my routine and had limited resources but drilling in the hotel pool may have paid off.

I felt like I consistently hit the feeling of hip and hand being tied together/working in unison. I also was able to feel that lift in the hips, the activated abs, streamlined position. I know it wasn't perfect but it was pretty darn good.

I also did mid pool swims because I can hold it together for a 25 but getting that feeling again after the turn was difficult but once I practiced it a bit I felt like that got much better too. I was doing open turns and decided not to kick off the wall or even streamline much underwater. I just focused on getting into that good body position for swimming and getting that feeling back. The actual turn finesse can come later the swimming is more important right now.

A good swim. I even got down to 12 spl. And I held 14 stroke/length for 10 minutes.
