I tried it on my own, writing out when to leave and posting that on both sides of the pool.
However, not enough time to read and swim and thus I screwed it up. It would be fun with my team, I think, a challenge to keep a good pace, with a few easy swims now and then.
But I would need our coach to be blowing the whistle so that I wouldn't have to think about when to go.
It's a sneaky set because you know you are getting more time and I wondered how much and when I could do more. Psychologically, for me getting more time to do more is easier (in theory) than getting less time to do the same, or dropping distance as you have less time.
Not a sprint set, but a pacing set. I liked it, but want to do it again with my team, without their knowing it was my idea. But not tomorrow...
