Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jim!
Our team has a post-Turkey workout (and open house recruitment) on Friday scheduled and hopefully we might get a few who bring new people who might want to join the team. We'll do mostly short stuff that day, but also get some fun racing/competition in.
In the well-established Forum tradition of resurrecting really old threads, and in the spirit of the season, I like swimsuit addict's 2009 Turducken set:
Turducken set: A turducken is a turkey that is stuffed with a duck, which in turn has been stuffed with a chicken. I’ve never tasted one, but I feel like I’ve been reading about them as a novelty food item for at least a decade. The latest article I saw about turducken was not about food at all, but about privacy law, and ever since I read it, the word has been rolling around in my head. So I decided I would assemble stroke turduckens by stuffing a 50 of one stroke into the middle of a 100 of another stroke, then sticking the whole thing into a 200 of yet another stroke. I did four rounds of these; on the first, turkey=fly, duck=back, and chicken=***; the strokes rotate through the IM thereafter. The set looked like this:
4 x 350 @ :30-:40 rest interval
1st 350=100 FL/50 BK/50 BR/50 BK/100 FL
2nd 350=100 BK/50 BR/50 FR/50 BR/100 BK
3rd 350=100 BR/50 FR/50 FL/50 FR/100 BR
4th 350=100 FR/50 FL/50 BK/50 FL/100 FR
On each round I aimed to do the middle 50 at 200 IM pace; the 50 before it as build and the 50 after it as recovery, and the turkey 100s at the front and back at basic aerobic pace.
Serve this as a main set with a side of vigorous kicking!
I might be doing some version of the Turducken Workout this weekend. Swimsuitaddict also included a Turducken kick set:
Kick set: 7 x 100 K @ 2:00
To continue with today’s theme, I made a 400IM--200IM--100IM turducken kick set and sliced it into manageable 100 yard portions. So my 7 100s were:
100 FL
100 BK
50FL--50BK
100 IM
50BR--50FR
100 BR
100 FR
Here's one more holiday-themed workout. It's Post #28 of this thread, posted by jgale:
After a 1000 warm up, we did the following sprint set:
12 x 25 fly on 40
11 x 25 back on 40
10 x 25 *** on 40
9 x 25 free on 40
8 x 25 IM (two of each stroke) on 25
At the half way point, we switched to fins
7 x 25 kick on 30
6 x 25 fly on 30
5 x 25 back on 30
4 x 25 *** on 30
3 x 25 free on 30
2 x 25 kick on 30
1 x 25 choice on 30

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jim!
Thank you - the same to you and Bruce!
I think it's time to look for new smilies. We can't ever have enough smilies. :bliss:
