Fast times in Hawaii: what are yours and how you plan on training?
Former Member
I am curious about what could everyone brag about swimming personal fast times in the 2002 ShortCourseNationals in Hawaii, and how they count on training for them.
To start off, I brag that I will do 58.xx in 100 freestyle, 2:09.xx in 200 freestyle and 11:58.xx in 1,000 freestyle.
I count on doing them by entering a 'zone' in workouts, where miracles are welcome including better flip-turns, feel for the water and enthusiasm.
Anyone else?

Thursday evening I was doing a yards pool workout at UCSD, with the main set being a good preparation for the Hawaii meet in May
('base' refers to the cruising pace per 100, when swimming a straight 1,000):
1 x 400 in (base + 5 seconds) per 100;
6 x 100 in base;
1 x 50 easy;
1x 300 in (base + 5 seconds) per 100;
4 x 125 in (base - 5 seconds) per 100;
1 x 50 easy;
2 x 200 in (base + 5 seconds) per 100;
2 x 150 in (base - 10 seconds) per 100;
1 x 50 easy;
1 x 100 in base + 5 seconds;
1 x 200 fast;
1 x 50 easy;
It is a competitive workout.
