Rough Wednesday Set

The worst part of Wednesday's set was that I was expecting "recovery" as the schedule indicated.  Sadly that was only for the college team who has a meet this weekend.  I wasn't expecting a "green/kick" set.  Which basically means "race pace and kicking".  It was rough.  Read the set below but this set tore me up.  It started with 3 x 50's fly on the 1:00 dive green pace.  That means almost all-out swimming, then you start the set.  It wipes you out before you even start.  The set is meant to develop the latatic acid tolerance and mental toughness to push your body far past it's comfort zone.  It does.  My average times are below for the 3 rounds of the set.  As insane as the set was, I thought I held it together pretty well, swimming a 38 second 75 yards after 3 consecutive 50's fly really isn't that bad for practice!

50y Fly: 23.9
50y Fly: 24.8
50y Fly: 25.5
75y Back: 38.8
50y Back: 24.0
25y Back: 11.2

Overall, I thought the set went well.  I can always do better though.
