3000 (37250/246100)

500 pull with paddles (flip turns)
2 x 50 free (flip turns)
100 free (flip turns)
1600 free (800m 16:50 / 1000m 22:05 / 1600m 33:39)
200 kick, reverse IM
2 x 100 IM (second timed at 2:08)
50 fly (1:03)
250 pull (flip turns)

Total: 3000 SCM (3300 SCY)

This was a random weekend swim I decided to do so I could see what my distance times are looking like. I just signed up to do the Race for the Oceans and that's a 1K, but I wasn't sure I've ever swam a 1K without pulling before.

My 1K time wasn't too bad. I ended up gaining about :30 per 500 on top of my normal 100 meter splits (right around 2:00). The time I got on the 1K would make my 50s average at about 1:05, which isn't too terrible, considering I was really holding back at the beginning because I don't know how tired I'll get.

The 1:03 on the 50m fly was shocking. My second 25 was dragging HARD, so I must have been quick on the first half. My two handed open turn is a train wreck, too.

Also, I've been trying to work on my flipturns when I swim on my own. I'm still really bad at them, and I get a lot of water up my nose, but maybe someday I'll actually get to a point where I can do those by default, instead of open turns. Here's hoping, anyway.
