18 X 50 @ 50 (12 Pull, drop buoy and add fins on last 6)

Notes: Part I is a 14 minute swim, keep it controlled, there is a short amount of stress in the back to back 100's, otherwise you should be able to maintain good form. Finish with some quite pulling on the 50's with a little bit of speed on the last 6 with the fins.
