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.
In El Paso, the loco swimmers get together for a cult swim called Los Rapidos around the holiday season. In 2000, it was 100 x 100 SCY on 1:45. Now it is 100 x 108. Takes a couple of hours. I hope we reset in 2010 to 100. There is enough time in between to tell jokes and gossip. The post event meal is a lot of fun!
