  • I'm planning on a one hour IM. 15 minutes per stroke. 4000 seems like a reasonable goal to shoot for. Wednesday main set (4320 IM) One Hour Postal swim done as one hour IM - 15 minutes per stroke Butterfly - 1050 Backstroke - 1100 Breastroke - 950 Freestyle - 1220 In butterfly, I did DPS fly except I mixed in regular 25 flys at the following points: 75, 175, 275, 475, 575, 675, 775, 875, 975, 1025. Managing to do 1100 backstroke in 15 minutes when the first 200 was basically recovery swimming makes me think that last year's 4250 backstroke in one hour wasn't really a very good swim for me. I had set 4000 as my goal because I figured I would do well under 1000 breastroke and would need the other strokes to pull me up to 4000. So totaling 950 there was nice. 80 warmdown and out The other swimmers in the pool had been making guesses about WTF I was doing. The closest guess was 1600 IM.
