Really liked the sprinting and the 50s at the end. Sets like this are great in a group, I'd never push this hard by myself.
Back in the pool this morning for an easy 2500m. Arms still tired from last night!
Sets of 25 cruise/25m sprint are awesome for triathlon swimming in a pack and staying in the draft. We used to do another version that was around 12m of cruising and 13m of sprinting starting the sprint in the middle of the pool from a slow pace vs from a wall push off. This was always good for the confidence of closing up a gap or opening one up on those annoying drafters constantly hitting your feet in a race.
