First day back was about the disaster I expected. Little power, zero endurance. I knew is was going to be rough when my SPL on the warmup 200 pull with paddles climbed from 12 to 16. That was the longest continuous effort I did. After a layoff, I prefer to build power/speed first, then start working on endurance, so the rest of the short workout was 50's and 25's. Even with generous intervals and short sets, my pace was off ~6 seconds/100. Only got in 1200 yards total in my 35 minutes in the water.
