Warmup, kicking and drilling.
5 x 100 lcm on 3:00 sendoff.
Times: 1:10.1, 1:11.7, 1:12.9, 1:14.8, 1:15.5
Average: 1:12.9
Using this average as basis, Coach Bob predicts 2:24.8 when I race at 200 meters.
Long warm down.

Oh, the pain of lactic acid buildup! Short, intense practice. Enough rest between swims to recover aerobically, but not enough for lactic acid to flush out. With each successive swim, arms feel more leaden coming back the last 50.

Tom, I'm assuming those 100's were meters. If long course, that is very impressive. I call that type of set lactate tolerance as you cannot clear the lactates between efforts and they keep accumulating. I also do lactate production sets where the efforts are on approx. 10 minutes where you can loosen down some and clear the lactates but each individual effort is more aggressive. Recently did 4 X broken 100 meters (SC) on ten minutes. All were a 50 on :45 and 2 25's on the 30. Cum time averaged under 1:00, but just barely.

Rich, they were 100 meter swims, long course. And you are right, the lactic acid just builds and builds during the set. That is the whole point, though, to prepare for that inevitable buildup in a 200.
