Breaking the Ice to go Swimming

Unintimidated by an overnight storm, I left my hotel at 5:30 for a 6:00am practice at Highlands Ranch. Unfortunately, a layer of ice covering all of the car's windows and handles delayed my departure. After hacking at the ice for 15 minutes, I made a low visibility, high slippage drive to the aquatic center, but joined the lighter than usual practice only a few minutes late.

The workout:
4 x 125 yds (free/back/breast mix)
20 x 50 yds (4x drill on :55, 4x drill/ez on :50, 4x swim/ez on :45, 4x swim on :40, 4X pull on :35)
4 x 75 yds kick
10 x 100 yds pull (2 x 1:30, 3 x 1:20, 2 x 1:30, 3 x 1:15)
3 x 300 yds swim (4:30, 4:00, 3:30)
200 yd cool down
= 3,900 yards
