D Men & Women Unite
you're a sick bunch
The longer the better
your sprints are 200's, 400's, 500's, 800's, & 1000's
You barely get going on 1,500's & 1,650's
You love 2Ks, 3K's, 5K's, 10K's, & some of you love 25K's.
Talk to each other, I have no clue what you do over there.
What did you do in practice today?

A teammate and I did a set one day last spring that seems also to have been a good reflection of our paces for a 1650 race. The set was 21 x 100: 6 on 1:30, 5 on 1:25, 4 on 1:20, 3 on 1:15, 2 on 1:10, 1 AFAP. We chose the starting interval for the 6 x 100 so that the 2 x 100 would be on an interval that was no more than 5 seconds over the pace we wanted to hold for a 1650, and the goal for the set was to swim each 100 at or faster than the 1650 pace. His target race pace was a few seconds per 100 faster than mine, but on the other hand I was going second so I got some assist from drafting.
