There are nice gentle ways to wake up on a Monday morning. Today's swim was not one of them. If a workout is 3600m long, and by the 2000m mark, you're so exhausted you might drown, that's a bunch of hard work. It's been a long time since I've been this tired during a workout, and had to keep going.
The crux of the day was a 12x100m set, on a pace time. The pace was faster than we'd ever done for anything that long, but we did get the benefit of every fourth repeat being a non-free interval, buying us a few extra seconds recovery. I'm pretty sure that's the only way I made it through the set. I could feel the heat radiating off my back after we were finished.
But we weren't finished. The remainder wasn't much for fast work, but as tired as I was, anything was going to be hard. I tried to use the best form I could, and dragged myself up and down the pool until there was nothing left on the board.
