3200 (40450/249300)

200 swim (warmup)
200 kick/drill by 50 (warmup)
400 pull, negative split
8 x 25 choice on :45, 3rd and 6th fast (1-4 free, 5-8 back)
800 swim (15:18)
200 pull smooth
400 swim
4 x 50 kick/drill (reverse IM)
200 swim fast
100 easy (warmdown)

Total: 2900 SCM (~3200 SCY)

We randomly ended up doing an 800 at this practice, so I got to compare it to the time I got the day before. Happily, I was faster the second time. :) I still think I can probably up my pace at the beginning of these distance sets. I'm not getting as tired as I expect, and I could probably improve my time a lot by being less cautious.

I've also been trying lately to do more different kinds of kicking in kick sets, hence the reverse IM in that kick/drill set. I am not so good at the fly kick, and I really need to practice, as much as it kills me. My biggest problem is breathing, since I need to do it, but my fly kick sucks on the surface of the water. It's a lot better if I get my whole head under the water, but then I have a lot harder time keeping up the kick for any real distance.
