Heavenly Tuesday swim practice

OK, I am 2 for 2 today, that was absolutely heavenly. Let me write it down before I forget...

(I got a calf cramp in the last 150 and had to sit it out, so I won't count it in my total, but it went away almost at once and I was able to swim the last couple hundred without any problem. I was too rushed today, I did not have time to procure and consume enough calories, that is the fact of the matter!)

I like swimming in a lane with people a bit faster than I am. These intervals were all very tight, but I can just about make them and I will never get faster if I do not swim hard. We all took a bit of extra rest after the first two of the 4 x 100 free, but otherwise hewed fairly closely to these times.

Warmup: 4 x 100 (50 free, 25 back, 25 breast)

#1: 6 x 100 IM, first three regular IM and second three reverse IM, on 2:10

#2 (all freestyle, with 30 seconds set rest between each 4):

4 x 50 on :50
4 x 75 on 1:20
4 x 100 on 1:50
4 x 150 on 2:45

That last one is a great set for me - it doesn't have any breaststroke in it!

swim down: 2 x 100 as back-free by 25 and then breast-free by 25, plus 50 free

2600 yards total
