When everything works

In swimming, as in life, we all have good days and bad days. The goal is to have more of the good days than the bad ones, and to appreciate the good ones when they happen. Today was one of those good days. Everything seemed to work - a good set, good lane karma, and most importantly total exhaustion at the end. It was me, R, Dr. Bob, and SB (for a little while). We decided to share the lead which helped each of us push certain parts of the set. When you look at the set you might say "piece of cake". But if you do it like we did, it's deceptively hard, especially toward the end.

WU 300 on own
8 x 100 some drill, stroke, swim, kick combos on :20 r
Main set:
5 x 150 on 2:15
4 x 50 stroke on 1:05
4 x 150 on 2:20
3 x 50 stroke on :60
3 x 150 on 2:25
2 x 50 stoke on :55
2 x 150 on 2:30
1 x 50 stroke

So it appears that the first part is the hardest because the interval is faster, but that was not the case. We decided to descend each set of 150s such that we were holding 1:55s (ish) in the beginning and 1:50s in the end. The rest helped a lot. I for one was really tired at the end, which means I worked hard. Everyone did awesome, and it was fun.

Great job, have a great day!
