Wednesday 6/27/07 - It hurts, but its so so good to swim hard

Great workout this morning. Here it was:

SCM
900 w/u - 100 kick / 100 pull / 100 swim (repeat until 900 meters)

Main Set:
Round 1 - 3 X 150s hard on 2:00 (1:54s)
4 X 50s recovery on 1:00
Round 2 - 3 X 150s negative split on 2:30 (1:52/53s)
4 X 50s recovery on 1:00
Round 3 - 3 X 150s descend each 50 in the 150 on 3:00 (1:52, 1:52, 1:45)
4 X 50s recovery on 1:00

Total - 2850 meters

Good workout given by Dr. Tom. The 2:00 base (1:20/100) for SCM is looking more and more like what I should be holding. Tom wants to see me do 20 X 100s on 1:20 eventually. Give me another month or two I think. Either way, I worked these hard. On Round 2, I negative split them, but with the extra rest I was able to go faster than R1. For R3, descending within each one along with more rest allowed me to go faster than all of them. On the final one, Tom wanted me around 1:47 I think. I went :37, :34, :33 I believe. Perfect. The pool was hot, but I think this time around it was because I WAS ON FIRE!!!! :-)
