I am not in anyway near the form I was, but recently (2 months ago)we did a set of 20 100's in a 50 meter pool on a 1:30 pace...I was holding 1:15-1:25....so that is what between 38 and 43 seconds per 50.
Milk, you must churn some serious waves when training.  |
Haha. I haven't swum in well over a month now, and even then I wasn't training much. My best event was the 500 free when I was competing, and I did that in 4:30.01. If I hadn't trained with mono my junior/senior (unknowingly, of course) year of college, it would have been fun to see that time drop into the low/mid 4:20's. But "would have" != "did"... so I'm eternally stuck at 4:30.01.
The coolest race I ever did was an open-water 5k in Racine, Wisconsin. I crossed the finish line at a shade over 51 minutes.
I was never much of a sprinter before, but now I've bulked up quite a bit (25 lbs, mostly lean, in a little over a year) and my O2 efficiency has gone to shit... so if I do anything it's gotta be shorter distances. I'm toying with the idea of training for some 100's and 200's to compete at Illinois Master's Championships next spring, but that might be a problem since I'd have to get in a pool first!
