Well, what's to say? I changed my mode of operation. My used-to was to do a 500-yard warmup, take a minute-or-two break, then do 1,800 yards for the "workout."
On Thursday, I decided the break was just a way to get less of a workout, so I ditched it and did a straight 2,300. I think I still took it easy on the first 500 and sprinted the last 200, so I don't think that part made much of a difference. Now I really am facing the big question, which is whether to go for a yardage increase.
I can do the whole workout in - I estimate (and I have to, because I'm never sure how many more laps than 46 I'm doing) about 50 minutes, give or take a few. Yes, I know, that's not very fast. Odd thing: When I do the warmup I rarely lose track of laps, and 500 yards (10 laps) always takes a little less than 10 minutes. I know I'm fresh then, but I don't think I slow down much if at all in the workout portion, so I'm thinking I'm really swimming more, consistently, than 46 laps.
WTF. I need to learn to count, maybe. :)
