Can't tell u the last time I did 3000! Thanks for the tips. I'll give some 50s, and 100s, a try next week and see what kind of interval I can hold. Still sounds painful.

Or the NC Masters group? If so here is the workout page from National: http://forums.usms.org/forumdisplay.php?forumid=95 <http://forums.usms.org/forumdisplay.php?forumid=95>and here is the workout page from NC Masters: http://www.ncmasters.org/wointro.html If you are not a member it is pretty cheap and a subscription to SWIMMER mag is included. $39/year. Joining the ncmasters gets you membership in usms.org also. Rocky mount has a masters swim group that this will give you access to swim w/also. Not sure if they charge a fee? Looks like the RMt masters has a $15/month fee. Not sure I'd do that unless you take adv of their workouts. Too early for me! http://www.ncmasters.org/rmym.html http://www.ncmasters.org/regforms.html Pretty decent resources for swimming. If you are not a member let me know and I will try to find some sprint workouts to do. The buckhorn is only a 1000meter swim. Start off w/ some descending sets to your regular 3000+ swims.. ie: 12 50s on the 1:00 descend-(and really descend). Use the clock-your best friend. Then do some descend sets of 100s and 200s. Happily descending 200s sets is where you want to be 2-3 weeks before race day. Enough rest time so you can really descend. To swim fast you have to practice swimming fast. Today we did: 500 warmup 6 50s on the :50 get heart rate up 12 100s on the 2:00 medium/fast(sprint)/slow 10 50s on the 1:00 backstroke(descend) ....you know, have to be disciplined enough to swim fast when tired. good luck. Do the buckhorn, don't be a sherpa :) On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 1:27 PM, Lee Eatmon <[email protected]> wrote: > Kinnie > Buckhorn is a relaxed race with about 130 participants last year.
