In a crazy (and fruitless) attempt to recapture my youth, I do look forward to the holiday break when inevitably we all have at least one set or one practice where our master's coach throws us a doozy set (and we may have a 2 hour practice instead of the usual 1.5 hour practice) - in an attempt to either try and get us in shape or simply have a chuckle or help us justify eating that extra piece of fruitcake.
Does anyone have any crazy/ insanely long and challenging set they would like to share?
I'll start. We had sort of a post thanksgiving distance free set that we just did:
100 FR @ 1:15
200 FR @ 2:30
300 FR @ 3:45
400 FR @ 5:00
500 FR @ 6:15
Three times through. All on 1:15 pace. (Goal is to do eventually make at 1:10 pace).
Total yardage is 4500 for the set.
Has anyone done the 100x100s? And at what pace? I'm sort of interested in trying that.

Gotta love the trash cans at the end of the pool.
Luckily I am in taper mode right now and will be swimming my big mid season meet this fri/sat/sun. Swimming the 500 free on friday, 100 fly, 200 free, 50 free on Saturday and 200 fly, 200 im and 100 free on Sunday. If I qualify in the top 16 then I will swim at finals in evening. Need to enjoy this because next week training will be hell :-)
