WFB Masters 04/05/17: Bookend efforts

This is another style of workout I like to go to, Bookend efforts. Starting and finishing strong with active recover in the middle. The main set was a bit more intensity than normal but the 3x300 at the end is a little more like what I would actually do for Triathletes.

Warm up:
10' solo
12x25 w/fins on 40" - kick/drill/swim x25.
- Drill: Clock drill - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ttW1QFB3k0
*Main difference is not holding for 10 seconds, you point to the roof, then bend at the elbow and hold that for another second then extend outward and enter the water with a fully stretched out arm.
(800-ish warm up)

Kick Set w/fins:
8x50 on 100
- Desc 1-4, 5-8
100 easy swim
(500 set/1300 total)

Bookend efforts:
3x200 on 30" rest
- 75 @80%
- 50 cruise - aka easy
- 75 @80%
3x150 on 30"
