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!

My team usually does a 100 x 100's set for the new year, but usually not until 2-3 weeks into Jan.
I did it for the first time last year, and it really wasn't too difficult. We did them in sets of 10, I think we started on a 1:30 interval, and varied it...down to 1:25, 1:20, then back up to 1:40, 1:35, 1:30, 1:25, 1:30, 1:25, and I think we did the last 10 on 1:15.
I think we started at 9AM, and my group finished in maybe 2 or 2-1/2 hours. I had a PB&J sandwich around 7 or 7:30 that morning, which provided plenty to carry me through the set. I had my usual water bottle on deck, and drank around 1/2 of it during the set, the remainder on my drive home (visited the water fountain when I got out).
Haven't yet decided if I'll do this again in 2009...
It'll be happening again this year but this coming Saturday at noon instead (1/3)...for those who would like the option of something substantially "harder" in half the time I will be coaching the Cactus workout from 7-8:30am...or you have plenty of time to catch a nap and do both!
