More Swimming (3000 yards)

So Andy did yesterday's workout in a completely different way than I did it.  He worked the 400s, putting down 5:10 and 5:15, respectively, which is badass for Army's former #1 sprinter.  By contrast, I worked the 100s descending but held the 400s at aerobic pace, putting down 5:25 and 5:30.

In every respect, this was opposite what you'd expect to see out of the two of us.  But it inspired today's workout, which was similar to yesterday's, save that it's built around 200s and intentionally puts the effort on the first part of the set.

Sunday's workout; 3000 yards total.

Main Set: 3 x through
 -- 200 fast @ 3:00
 -- 2 x 100 @ 1:30, pick-up by 25s
 -- 1:00 rest

Final Set:
 -- 12 x 50 @ :45, every 4th 50 fast

This was a good workout for me.  I went:
 -- 2:23, 1:15, 1:15
 -- 2:20, 1:15, 1:15
 -- 2:22, 1:15, 1:15

That ain't bad.  On the last set, though, I couldn't get under :34 on the 50s fast.  For better or worse, I only have so much uptempo speed anymore.

Obligatory selfie, post-workout.
