Sprint day


We didn't do very many meters today, but it felt like we did. Today was sprint day, and unlike distance day one never knows what day of the week sprint day will be. Sometimes we don't have sprint day at all for weeks, then BAM! there it is. The comedy of today was watching Bill (see image above) trying to send 4-5 heats off on one end, then sprint himself on the deck down to try and send off the first group on the other end at :45. After about two he gave up, likely realizing that this workout scheme where he blows the the whistle and gets our time on his stopwatch only works in yards. Here it is:

12 x 50 going twice thru:
1-2 free
3 drill
4-5 stroke
6 drill
4 x 100 free/back on 2:00
Main set 4 times thru:
50 sprint off blocks on :45
50 pace on :55
50 easy on 1:10
50 sprint stroke on :50
50 pace stroke on :60
50 easy stroke on 1:20
5 x 100 pull hypoxic:
100 breathe every 9 on 1:50
100 breathe every 5 on 1:45
100 breathe every 7 on 1:50
100 breathe every 5 on 1:45
100 breathe every 7 on 1:50

2700 meters total, but quality. Nice job all.
