Great swim

After last night's crap run, I had a great swim, on a decreasing-increasing interval:

2 x 50 @ 2:00
2 x 50 @ 1:55
2 x 50 @ 1:50
etc.

I got down to about 1:15 but at that point was getting caught in traffic, with no chance for consistent times either swimming or resting. So I make that 10 time intervals (2:00 to 1:15 in 5-sec decrements), with 2 x 50 at each, = 20 x 50m = 1000m. Plus warm up and a little cool down.

I definitely felt that swimming 50m on 2 minutes was a bit slow for me. The other three lanes all started on 1:30 (and are full anyway), leaving me nowhere to go for a "little" improvement, and feeling a bit held up with the others in my lane (not through behaviour, just through the different speeds we swim at).
