3200 yards at swim this morning!

Never having done more than 2500 yards at a time made this morning's workout interesting. We'd talked about wanted to do more distance, and I sure got it today. I started with a 600 yard freestyle warmup, then a quick 200 yard kickboard. Then the fun started.

Do 100 yards on 2 minutes. As many as I can do. As soon as I finish one in more than 2 minutes, I take a 20 second rest (which turned into a minute fifteen) and then see how many I can do in 2:15. I never thought I'd do more than 3 or 4 in the two minutes. I did 10. Then, I started getting bored and running out of time with the 2:15s, and quit after 12. Finished with a 200 yard cool down. The two sets of 100s equaled 1.25 miles. Not bad. The same distance as a half ironman. Not that I'm going to do that distance any time soon. I do want to do the Save the Bay, 1.7 mile swim though, in July.
