Quick swim summary: 900 warm up, including 500 of drills. Then, the going got tough with 8 broken 250s, each consisting of 100m hard, 10 sec. rest, 75m "quick", 5 sec. rest, 50m all out, 10 sec. rest, and 25m easy.
For the first five 250s, I held my initial 100m between 1:28 and 1:30. I also did the 50m all out in about 0:45. The entire broken 250m took 4:25 to 4:27 for the first five reps. I'd take 45 seconds between each rep. By the last three, my times began to slow. My 100m's became 1:31-1:33, and my 45m's became 0:47 (my total time for these sets became 4:35 or so). I also took a minute and fifteen seconds rests between sets 6 and 7 and between sets 7 and 8 in hopes of keeping my time low.
Overall, a very tough swim, maybe the hardest I've ever done. Still, swimming is more enjoyable than ever since I feel like I'm making progress.
S.O.L.I.D.
