Pro  5169    Burbs |  Subject: I'm either losing or mind/ cannot do math/ or BT is wrongSwim: Swim Endurance - KEY WORKOUT IM Training 70 3600 WU: 400 warm up free, each 4th lap is backstroke. MS: 5 x 200 with 30 seconds rest between each. Kick 200/kickboard, 100 kick on back, 200 easy free. Repeat main set, with last 200 as cool down. this adds up to 3400M, right ?! |

MS is 5x200 (1000), then (200+100+200)= 500. Total 1500. Do this twice = 3000. CD is 200. 400+200+3000= 3600. I guess it's a battle of semantics-- is there a separate 200 at the end or a whole extra 200? Edited by DrPete 2009-09-05 10:41 AM |

I know it's really not a big deal  but I was driving myself nuts adding it up and trying to get to 3600 -- I was making the cd the last part of the main set. |

Expert 1170 Southern Pines, NC | Subject: RE: I'm either losing or mind/ cannot do math/ or BT is wrong Then it IS 3400. Personally, I'd take whatever's shorter.  |

Champion 8766  Evergreen, Colorado | Subject: RE: I'm either losing or mind/ cannot do math/ or BT is wrong That happens sometimes. Once in awhile I'll actually pull out the calculator to convince myself that I'm not crazy. |

| Iron Donkey 38643 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: I'm either losing or mind/ cannot do math/ or BT is wrong I looked at a friend's blog this morning and saw something that he did yesterday that didn't make sense:
He did a 138 mile bike ride for 47 min. and had an average for 16.60 miles per hour. |

That's a typo which has been corrected in the training plan database. Do the workout as written. Sorry for any confusion. |
