Exercise Type: Swim
Weather: Indoor
Comments:
Focused mostly on catch. Keeping the hand/wrist slightly curved on entry. The hand parallel with water surface. As I practiced, I relaxed the recovering arm and allowed it to extend fully (allowed. not forced). And keeping the hand parallel while rolling meant intentionally maintaining that position while rolling. After a couple of laps, the hand position felt natural. I can now feel every time when my fingers drift apart and I automatically bring them together again.
It was very difficult to swim so slowly as to do 100y in 1:45. After the set of 10x100@1:45 I felt great, not tired. My percieved exertion was 60% max. However, my times were all over the place, because I could feel myself speed up, so I would force myself slower.
