Test Pace Set

Today's workout was short, and to-the-point.  The main set was 4 broken 500s,  holding the best average possible.   The pace you establish can be used to calculate your mile time.   So, if you average 1:30 every 100 yards, your mile time will be about 26 1/2 minutes.

90 seconds 
x 17.6  (a mile is 1760 yards, not 1650 yards)
--------------------
1584 seconds or 26.4 minutes to swim a mile in a pool

We trained at a municipal outdoor pool, thinking that there would be few people willing to brave the mid-40s temperatures.  We were right, and had the entire place to ourselves on a day that broke a 100+ year old record for the lowest high temperature for this date.  Gulf Temp:  52F
