Last week I was glued to the Internet following the Swimming World Championships in Barcelona. Records fell, new stars were born, and my twitter feed was full of CRAZY fast times.
I absolutely LOVED the way Missy Franklin and Katie Ledecky, two teenage girls, led Team USA to a dominating medal count. And since I have a newfound love for distance swimming these days, I decided to dedicate this week’s TYR Swim Set of the Week to Katie Ledecky’s gold medal winning, World Record smashing, overall AMAZING, 800 meter freestyle performance.
Ledecky’s race was brilliant and made me want to jump in the pool for some 800s! And even though I wasn’t posting consistent 31 second 50s, I like to think the set left me a little more confident and ready to take on any challenge, Ledecky-style!
Watch Katie Ledecky’s 800 meter freestyle swim online, then hit the pool!
