What fantastic, diabolical, all-energy-systems-exhausting swims do you have planned for New Year's Day breakdown/throwdown? Or, if you come to the thread later, what workout did you do?
I'll be crafting my own, and will seek appropriate inspiration here!

Last year I heard about The Cumberland*, where you do a 1500 for time, as follows - 500 free, 400 IM, 300 back, 200 ***, 100 fly. I haven't tried it yet but New Year's Eve or New Year's Day seems as good a time as any.
* No, I don't know why it's called that
Another sissy set. Butterfly is always the least swum stroke. Why is everyone (including coaches) afraid to do more than 100 yards/meters of fly in a set (ok, 200 in this set)? Sure, you get tired, but look where it got Michael Phelps!
