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?

I swam the mile for the first time in the pool this past weekend. Here are the results.
1500 Free: 19:41.94 scm
33.63 36.79 38.35 38.29
39.61 39.65 40.20 40.14 (400 = 5:06.66)
40.67 40.73 39.71 38.62
41.56 40.57 39.59 40.51 (800 = 10:28.62)
37.46 39.64 41.38 41.45
39.75 39.82 40.51 40.59
41.06 39.29 40.08 38.85
40.09 33.35
On the highlighted 50's (#11, 12, 17, 18) I attempted to swim 25 hard then settle back into DPS focus, but the 50's afterwards indicate that it probably was not the best move. My stroke counts per lap were fairly consistent throughout, although I feel that I need to perhaps increase turnover a bit (perhaps an extra SPL or two) in order to drop time.
What say you distance folks - is there a miler in those splits somewhere? Did I get out too fast? Any suggestions for improvement or better splitting? Much obliged.
