Swimming: intervals 5/21

I neglected to put an entry in for this swimming session, and before I remembered, I had already done the next days run which wiped out my timing info for number of intervals, etc.

Regardless, this day's swimming session started out with the ~3 minutes of warmup @ power setting of 40. I then did some intervals at a power setting of 70, with the same cycle - 2 minutes interval, 1 minute rest. I believe I did 6 of them. I then tried the power setting at 80, and was able to manage 1 minute before having to stop.
After that, I went back down to 70 - but the interval at 80 gassed me so much that I stopped. In retrospect, I probably should have just taken a couple minutes rest after the 1 minute at 80 in order to be able to continue - but at the time I was interested in stressing my arms out for the purpose of building strength.
