Wednesdays are distance emphasis workouts. As I tend to swim mainly mid-distance on these days, I wanted to go a little bit farther than usual. It’s not the most exciting set. Okay, it might be quite boring (LOL), but it was just the sort of mindless, meditative, breathe set I needed today. I was keeping the hundreds at a nice, easy 1:25 until the last 200, and then loafed the last 100. They let us in 2 minutes late, so it was really another 48 minute swim.
