Strength training prior to swimming.
Warmup: 600, change stroke each length, + 8 x 50 faster pace
Drill: 8 x 25 back, odds: single-arm, evens: whole stroke.
Main Set: Swim 3 rounds
(4 x 150 IM, descending within the set, followed by an easy 150 free)
(:20 rest within rounds, 1:00 rest between rounds)
round# 1: 1-2-2-1
round# 2: 2-1-1-2
round# 3: choice
Warmdown: 10 minutes drilling
Commentary: A workmanlike practice, on top of strength training.
Warmup and drilling went fine, pretty much loosening up the tightness from the strength work.
I plugged away at the IM's, worked them, descended each set. Felt pretty strong to the end, but thoroughly whipped, too, afterward.
