Again not posted for a while but here's a set we did on Tuesday that was really good and quite thought provoking. For the past couple of weeks (it must be because it's near the end of term) the lunch time sessions have taken on the air of drill/technique work. But Tuesday was a "you've got to swim clever" day.

So what was it? Basically the instructions for the main set were 9 x 100 on 1:45 descend each repeat by 3 seconds. Well 3 seconds doesn't sound much but actually when you get halfway through the set you just start to think... The big problem for most of us was that we all started too quickly so basically couldn't make the times. And to make matters worse Martin who was leading (blame him!) miscounted and we "peaked" on repeat 7 - so the last two were dreadful!

So the session was:

1 x 400 EZ
9 x 100 on 1:45 descend each repeat by 3s
3 x 100 EZ

My scores were something like:
1:28, 1:24, 1:20, 1:18, 1:15, 1:12, 1:07, 1:17 and 1:10

Very tired at the end.
