Bikram, 90 minutes

A very unusual occurrence -- Lil Fort got a ride both ways to swim practice with the 2 families we carpool with. So I am heading off to the 8:00 pm bikram class in 20 minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slept terribly last night (thunderstorms and other issues) and my legs were somewhat tired from yesterday's kicking. So I did not have high hopes for this workout. Nonetheless, I was fairly pleased with the broken 100s and liked the set. Next time, I may bump the rest down @ the 25s down to :10.

    Were you finishing to the feet on the broken backs? 51 on the fly, I think I need to keep practicing with my fins.

    No, wasn't. Probably should have, as Chris suggested to chowmi. (If I had, the 1:05s would have been very fast.)

    51 is good for 100 pace. Pretty sure I recall going a 49 AFAP broken 100 fly. Fins can really help smooth out the stroke as well.

    We do our broken 100s as 25, R10, 50, R10, 25. Hurts good.

    Yeah, that's a real killer. I like the idea of the 50 being in the middle. Other ones I have done are 50, rest 15, 75 rest 15, kick last 25 -- all out.
