Can someone please point me to a link or article where a team had done the entire list of events in one workout, effectively doing the entire check-off challenge in one practice - I recall there was great strategy in where to place each event.
I would also love to see comments on what order you would do the events. I'd like people's advice on splitting it into two workouts.
I'm actually doing our annual Dallas Aquatic Masters Swim for Distance. My goal is 50,000 meters total, which is quite modest, but the self-imposed added degree of difficulty is 1/3 free, 1/3 stroke, and 1/3 kick. Not so easy at all! If i'm going to get in this good conditioning, then I might as well consider doing the check off challenge somewhere in there! The great thing so far is the coaches still inject some good sprinting within the workouts!
New event: total time required to swim all 18 events
Let's just say around 90 minutes? :bolt:
I think if it was up to me, if I can talk my training crew into doing it as well, that I'd rather warm-up with the 1500, and do the 800 at the end, when I'm out of gas. And I've gotta do the 2 fly and 4 IM almost immediately after the 1500. Good thing toys are allowed, because I would drown on the 2 fly without them, lol!
