Monday's swim:
After warming up and pulling 10 x 50m on 1 min., my main set included 10 broken 250m's, each of which included 100m hard, 75m cruising, 50m all out, and 25m easy. At the beginning of the workout, my 100m time was 1:35, but it dropped to 1:38 or 1:39 by the end. I'd leave on 1:45 or 1:50 for the 75m and come in around 3:05 to 3:15. My 50m time was 45 sec initially, but dropped to 48 sec. by the end. It was not an easy swim - by the end I was just muscling through the water without being able to get myself to breath hard.
Tuesday's run + bike:
I did the run in the morning, and it went fine. I could feel some lingering soreness in my legs, but nothing too bad. My HR average was 140 bpm, so I could probably have taken it a bit easier, thought I'm not working very hard at that pace.
In the evening, I did the interval trainer ride with 4 x 15 minutes. I averaged 149, 150, 154 and 155 bpm for the respective sets, but it wasn't easy. My legs were pretty shot afterwards.
It's all good news! I'll design the broken 250s with specific send-off times the next time around, perhaps like this...
