Yes, I'm surprised about the frequency of testing as well. Looking at the annual plan drawn up by my coach it seems that she wants me to test on a repeating 4wk - 4wk - 8wk cycle, I'm not sure of the underlying logic but I'll ask next time we speak. I'm owed a chat but cramming everything in is a bit difficult at the moment so I've let it slide recently.
Swimming has always been my best discipline, but I've been a bit frustrated recently. Before christmas I had a load of coached sessions and my stroke was completely re-constructed... I lost a lot of speed at first, but I was hoping that once the technique had bedded in I'd begin to see a big increase in speed. As it is, it's been 3 or 4 months and I've still not got down to my pre-change 400m time and I'm along way off my pre challenge henley 400m time:
My big goal this year is also to improve on my aeros. Doing a few TTs and comparing power files with the good guys is really very revealing in terms of how much I'm losing out on.
