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!
Late in joining this thread, but I found it while searching for the exact same thing. We've done it as a holiday workout in the past (must bring canned food donation to participate). I really like this order, which is the same as what guppy found and posted in this thread. Credit, as far as I know, goes to Larry Caldwell and his Gold Coast Masters teammates. Larry sent it to us in 2009 and we published it in the March-April 2010 issue of SWIMMER.
