I swam the 1500 (SCM) about 10 weeks apart and ended with almost identical times (0.35 faster today) in spite of the training I've been doing in the meantime. In today's race I followed a strategy of intentionally going slower at the beginning. Maybe I've hit my peak for my age. Somewhere after 1000 meters I remember thinking "I am never swimming this race again". We'll see!

David I think you would have had a much improved time if you had gone out faster. You must have felt very strong for your last 50. A great last 50.
Set the time you want to do for the 1500 then do your 100 repeats with a ten second rest. 1:20 would give you a 20min 1500m
