Swam 2200 m, 41:12. 9;35, 9:14, 9:04, 9:07 (37 even for 2k). 200 cooldown in 4:12. I didn’t get to the pool until 45 minutes before closing, so I knew I could go fairly hard straight through. There might have been another 1000 meters in me at that pace, but the distance and intensity felt right. My next swimming goal is to start banging out those 500 m blocks in under 9 minutes, with an eye to getting a sub 90 minute 5k.

I swam 1800yrds in 41:12 tonight. That is an improvement from my 46:14 for the last time I attempted that last Friday.

Kerry, that's great! The last swimming workout you gave data for was back around November, and I seem to remember 1300 yards (meters?) in 37 minutes (about 50 minutes per mile). Sounds like you're getting a lot more comfortable in the water. Good thing, too, given your current training options.
