GRANT HACKETT CAN SUCK MY COCK.
Grant Hackett is an Australian Olympic swimmer. His specialty is the 1500m event (60 laps in a 25m pool, 30 laps in a 50m pool). He started his swimming career at the age of 15, and has won gold medals in the 1500m freestyle events for two consecutive Olympics. He'll be at Beijing next year going for another gold. If he gets it, he'll be the first swimmer in history to win the 1500 freestyle for 3 consecutive Olympic games.
It's called the Hackett set, because it's supposedly his favorite set to do. This is how it's broken down, and before I tell you the turnaround time (how much time we had to swim it AND rest before going on again; meaning, if the turnaround time was a minute, we had a minute to get back and rest), I should tell you a few more things.
My best 50m freestyle time is 32.63 seconds, or something around there. Definitely the 32 range. I can do that only when I am well-rested and have stretched. To keep that time up repeatedly, I need 10 minutes rest. However, the turnaround time was 45 seconds, so I couldn't even hope to do 32 at any time.
16x50m @ 45 sec.
12x50m @ 50 sec.
8x50m @ 55 sec.
4x50m @ 1.00 min.
NNNNGH OUCH. I could only do the first 4 50's of the 16 50's on the turnaround time, after that it was basically non-stop all-out sprint for...24 laps. After that, I got more rest, but I was still hurting. The last 4 50's was hallelujah after all that pain. T_T
On another note, psychosematic reactions are very, very useful.
