Saturday's Swim Report - Are 512 pushups too many for a swimmer?

If I Swim Any Slower I'll Be Swimming Backwards Workout

Luckily this morning I was able to remember where the pool was located.  I haven't swam in about 11 days due to work and then having a cold.  Normally 11 days of no swimming is pretty bad but considering I wasn't swimming that much before these 11 days and you get a very slow and sore swim workout.  UPDATE:  NOT 11 Days but 13 Days!  Last time I swam was two weeks ago tomorrow!  Oy!

Warm Up:
400 Swim
200 Pull
200 Kick

Main Set:
6x200's Free Descending.
- 1 & 2 Straight 200 yard swim on 3:00
- 3 & 4 Broken at 100 yard with a 10 second rest on 3:10
- 5 & 6 Broken at 50 yards with a 5 second rest on 3:20
It was a lot of math for my pretty little head.  Luckily my Garmin Swim keeps track for me.

Somehow I was able to descend them but those times are super slow!  A 2:49 for a 200 Free?  OY!
