Swim Set for the week of 2/13/2012

I am not going to be swimming at the MCAC Tuesday morning. I am going to swim with the MAC Masters to celebrate the neck-dancer's birthday. Most people go out for their birtday, share a meal, share a dessert,  down a couple of car bombs but swimmers do a little bit differently. They like to torture each other with swim sets we know the birth-ee will dread. I am guessing a nice distance set is in store for me tomorrow or a lot of 100 repeats. 


I plan to do this workout Thursday morning at 6AM at the MCAC if anyone is interested.This is the long course version of a workout my buddy came across. I threw in some stroke work just for a little extra pizzazz!
