I am putting together a list of Fitness Events and Challenges available to USMS members. These could be virtual, postal, logs, or anything any club has come up with to motivate folks to swim more. If you know of any such event would you please post it on this thread. I promise to post a final list in a compact form if I get some responders. I already know about GTD, Postal 5K/10K, and the Hour Swim series. Thank you, Robin Walker
Any other Brute Squad members out there?
Well, congrats on sticking it out! I plan on Bruting some time this month. I haven't decided when yet.
Except maybe for someone who is just a terrible freestyler, I believe the way to do this event is to start with 12x25 fly on a not-too-hard interval. Whatever you lose on the 300 fly by resting this way you will more than pick back up as you negative-split the 1750 free. Basically, it is a 1750 free with a weird warm-up.
I've used the 12 X 25 strategy before, and it seemed to work OK. Can't decide if I should use it again this year.
