Set 3
Deep end kicking along with a 500 pull (was supposed to be more).

Total - about 4000 meters.

Really happy.  Set 1 for the 75s I was busting out just what my goals were to be.  50/50/50/50/51/51/51/50.  I was supposed to hold 51s, and I went 50s.  Yea!!  I was getting tired!  

For Set 2, I chose to do all backstroke.  as each one passed, I began to feel better and better.  By the time the 100s rolled around, although it said EN1, I was feeling really good, I wanted to push it a little bit more, to an EN2.  I ended up going 1:24, 1:22, 1:21.  I was beginning to catch Ryan though, even though I was going 10 seconds back since he was doing IM, so on the final one, I went 15 seconds back.  I pushed it a little bit more, but still did no kicking really, and went 1:18. Wow! I really felt I could have kept on going for a 200 at that pace.  Recently I have been tossing around two different types of backstroke rhythms, and this one was my older way, which I think I need to revert back to, but still keep the pull emphasis in there and core.  But all in all, great workout!
