Tuesday swim practice

It was very enjoyable - I was dreading it beforehand, I am swimming very slowly due to neglect of the sport, but in fact the lane composition and the nature of the workout made it more than tolerable. I have to take advantage of TNYA practices while I am in NY this winter and spring, it pushes me in a way that swimming on my own does not!

Warmup (curtailed) 50 free, 50 back, 50 breast

8 x 50 on 1:15 as fly-back, back-breast, breast-free, free-fly x 2

Not sure I have intervals quite right for these - we were assigned :55 for the 50s, but lane consensus (ease of counting, ease of swimming) tipped us to 1:00, which is more realistic for me!

250 free on 4:40
5 x 50 free on 1:00
50 seconds rest

200 free on 3:50
4 x 50 free on 1:00
40 seconds rest

150 free on 2:50
3 x 50 free on 1:00
30 seconds rest

100 free on 1:55
2 x 50 free on 1:00
20 seconds rest

Then 8 x 50 on 1:10 (IM order x 2)

50 easy back cooldown

2400 yards total

I am going to swim a bit slower in the one-hour swim this year than last year, I fear - flip turns might make me a little faster, but both general and swim-specific fitness are weaker this year than last, alas (no regular two-hour runs in my recent past!). But I will just have to live with it...
