Morning: Yoga at Tranquil Space Arlington.
Afternoon: Swim 10 x 50 meters
Notes: Today was the ultimate squat cycle recovery day. Even though it can be brutal, the best thing to do after a day of heavy squatting is to get right back into the squat position. Mary Catherine's yoga class involved tons of squatting and hip mobility and really helped me work out the tightness from Sunday's squats, deadlifts, and tire flips. Then, we hit the pool at Hains Point for some practice. I did complete 10 x 50 meters, but it certainly wasn't in any sort of interval format. It was an Olympic-sized pools (50 meters versus standard 25 yards for college/high school) and I found it difficult to complete lengths unbroken. I stopped a few times and either rested or switched to breast stroke. Anyway, it was good to log some pool time. Swimming always helps my body recover and I think the exposure to the big pool will make the Washington-Lee pool seems like a piece of cake.
