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.

Well enjoy that set. It really was not that bad with the exception of the 400IM's. I hate breaststroke and would have much rathered inserted fly in the breaststroke part of it.
This is the link of the uss meet I will be at, psych sheet and results when available.

Thanks again Greg for the link!! Best of luck!!
And like I said, I'll be lucky to make that set all FREESTYLE. Not ready for throwing in the IM. . . yet!
