Of Swimming Bondage

After a long and late company dinner event on Thursday night in NJ, I opted for sleep on Friday morning and just some light yoga before what turned out to be roughly an 18 hour workday. I managed to squeeze in 7 hours of sleep last night and wasn't sure how well I'd do this morning on my 3 x 300 test set, but the result was pretty good, a slight improvement over two weeks ago:

Warmup Sets (1,800 set)

• 1 x 400: IM, kick-drill by 25s
• 4 x 100: on 1:20, free swim, descend, start w/snorkel, buoy and paddles and drop one piece of equipment after each one (1:11->1:05)
• 4 x 100: on 1:40, IM kick w/board, descend (1:35 -> 1:26)
• 6 x 50: on 0:55, #1 and #6 cruise w/snorkel, #2 to #5 build to fast IM order (0:31, 0:32+, 0:37, 0:29+)
• 4 x 25: on 0:35, w/paddles & snorkel, going 5-6-7-8 AFAP strokes off the wall
• 3 x 50: on 0:45, trying to hold 0:30s, and was 0:30, 0:30, 0:29
• 1 x 50: easy w/snorkel

3 x 300 Test Set (1,200 set / 3,000 total)

• 3 x 300: on 4:00, trying to hold best average both across the 300s and with a consistent effort/pace within each 300.
