So, we had a 750m TT on Monday (followed by a pretty good workout), and we know we have a 3800m distance swim on Friday. Tough week. So what should we do on Wednesday? I was really hoping to see "Main Set: splash around in the shallow end. Water wings are allowed." But that wasn't it.
There was a long warm-up. (Nice. That's all easy swimming.) Then a bunch of drills. (Not too bad, takes more focus but the effort is still pretty low.) Then a particularly nasty descending set workout. (What? That's not good at all.) 10x100 descending, 30" rest. I thought, "I don't have 10 different speeds. I have three: dead man's float, kind of hard, sprint." This was less than fun.
(OK, I say that, but I admit that any other week I'd have a serious love/hate relationship with this. That's the great thing about tough workouts: they suck, they hurt, but man are they effective.)
Swim: w/u - 200yds free, 300 as 25 back/25 breast/25 free, 300 pull as 25 quick/50 ez
4x200, 30" as 25 drill/25 free (1: full scull, 2: forearm flop, 3: straight-line pull, 4: tripwire)
10x100, 30" descending free (1:56 -> 1:35)
c/d - 200 ez non-free
Total: 2800 yds

Good times.
That's the fun thing about suffering during a workout... it's miserable at the time, but you always end up with fond memories afterwards.
I assume this is some sort of mild side effect of the evolutionary adaptation that allows women to entertain the possibility of going through childbirth more than once.
