New Year's swims

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! :) VB

  • New Year's eve day we'll do 100x100 broken up by sets of 20. I heard 50% of them are fast. I'll see what that means. Today's Distance practice was more long than intense. I was last in the slow lane. The fast lane did 1:15 and 1:10 pace. I was in the most orderly lane EVER. We all left 10 seconds behind and we all made the entire set. No one cheated. I felt like I was in the land of OZ! AWESOME! No one dropped out from my lane. Only one or two dropped out from the other lane. Long Course Meters 2 hrs 300 Warm Up Choice 6x200 150 FR/ 50 BK 6x50 FR @ :55 8x25 IM Order @ :30 DISTANCE DAY - All Swim FR 5x100 @ 1:20 5x100 Odds: 1:25 Evens: 1:15 5x200 @ 2:40 5x100 Odds: 1:25 Evens: 1:15 5x300 @ 4:00 5x100 Odds: 1:25 Evens: 1:15 5x400 @ 5:20 8500 meters Was so worth it when one of the little girls (she's 15) told me, "You did good!" Doesn't that feel great when a younger person says that you are doing good. That is pretty amazing that you can do these intervals with no problems. I think that if I did this set, I would have to add 10 seconds on the 100s, 200s and 300s, and probably just 10 seconds on the 400. Way to go.
