How to get stronger

I saw it and thought it might be the reaction I get from (S)he the first time we meet in person...with or without said tutu! Swimming completely torn down is no fun..unless you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yesterday morning after a very painful lactate set I could only muster a 1:06 100 free (LCM)!!! Sam Perry threw down a 1:07 in his backstroke for pete's sake...but I know this, with the pain comes strength when I'm fully rested...and I can wait. Already fantasizing about our first encounter, eh? Knowing that, my response is indeed, :eek: I thought you didn't let yourself get completely torn down.
