50, 100, 150 (300)
50, 100 (150)
50 (50)
300 cooldown

Level Definition:
50 = 50 backstroke
100 = 100 free (Long efficient strokes.  Not easy, but focus on using lats with EVF)
150 = 2 x 75’s IM Order
200 = 200 pull moderate pace
300 = 3 x 100’s free sprint on 1:20
400 = 400 kick with fins
500 = 500 free no equipment get under 6:30
Actual was 6:31, 6:33.  I tried!

10,000 yards total in 2:50

Sarah was a couple lanes over doing her own thing.  She was holding steady with a strong pace.  She got in 10 minutes before me, and finished 10 minutes before me.  She also did 10,000 yards which is her new PR for longest swim.  Very impressive!
