Swim tests

I did 3100m of swimming today, including several tests. First up was 5 x 200m at 90%. I did the first in 3:15, the second, third and fourth in 3:19, and the fifth in 3:21.

Next up was 500m all out. I finished to find that my total time was 6:43, which would be about 1:20 pace. That ain't right. I think I missed the start button at the very start of the 500m. However, I was pressing "lap" each 100m while flip-turning so that I could see how well I paced the 500m, and the lap button is also the start button. So, I think the 6:43 is for meters 100-500 of the 500m. My splits were pretty even: 1:39, 1:41, 1:42: and 1:39. I think I paced myself a bit to slowly, because I wasn't totally spent at the end.

The third test was 200m all-out. I did that in 3:08, with the first 100m in 1:32 and the second in 1:36.

Finally, I did 100m in 1:25. (I think I can drop that by a second or two next time I do it.)

I was a bit stressed out today from work, and wasn't as motivated as normal for the workout. Bah.
