Dave emailed the main set to me last night so I had plenty of time to get psyched. I wasn't 100% sure that I'd make the whole set but was confident based on doing 5x200 @ 2:20 a few weeks ago and feeling like I've continued to get stronger & smoother in the water. The first 5 went by pretty easily... at times I was pleasantly surprised that I was still right on 2:15 despite Dave pulling ahead up to a body length. Number 7 started to get a bit tough but by then the end was in sight.
Making it through that said with time to spare (4-5 seconds rest on each) makes me want to do more long-ish sets on a 1:10 base... like maybe some 300s or 400s, or a pyramid.
