Hour of Power

Today, 32 people from MIT Masters did the One Hour Swim. Thirty-two! That is pretty amazing. I was one of them, and, as Frank Sinatra so often said "I did it my way". That's right, I went from thinking it was dreadful to thinking it was fun. How, might you ask? Well, I simply did it as a workout, and I had company too. E2 and I got in a leisurely 3500 during the OHS and had a good time with it. But it makes me wonder: why can't we do 3500 every practice, or more? I realize that we chat a bit too much on deck, and between sets is sometimes like a cocktail party. But at least I know we can do it. Here is what we did:

500 WU
200 drill/swim on 3:30
200 swim on 3:00
200 50free/50stroke 3:30
200 free 3:00
200 IM 3:30
5 x 100 on 1:30
Descend 1-3
easy 4
fast 5
10 x 75
3 on 1:15
3 on 1:10
4 on 1:05
500 swim 7:00
6 x 50 FAST on 1:15
DONE!
