02/26/03 – IM work, and got in some yardage

I was asked yesterday to write up the practice for everyone this morning. Now, knowing that people want to get in a certain amount of yardage, I had to accomplish that, as it is a fund-raiser month. But I also wanted to put a signature on the practice that stroke work is MY thing!

So here goes:

800 warm-up – choice

8 x 50 on 1:00 – 25 stroke/ 25 free. The stroke should be in IM order.
4 x 100 free on 1:30 – just make the interval
8 x 50 on :55 – Same as the first 8 50’s
4 x 150 free on 2:10 – just make the interval
8 x 50 on :50 – Same as the first 8 50’s
4 x 200 free on 2:50 – just make the interval
8 x 50 on :45 – Same as the first 8 50’s

This practice allowed us to crack the 4,000 barrier and still get people to work on time. I’m not sure if anyone liked it or not, but I had a good time. I guess only time will tell by when they ask me to write the practice again.
