getting past the distractions
As I mentioned in my other blog, it's been a busy couple of weeks with the HealthVault conference and Alcatraz and getting over my cold and my IT band issue... but I did get in a few good swims before I left for Alcatraz.
Sun June 1: solo swim at pro club.
3500 yards. 65 minutes.
main set: 2x10x50 @ 1:00 targeting :29 ...
Mon June 2: solo swim at pro club
technique day
3500 yards. 60 minutes
Tue June 3: masters swim at pro club
2900 yards. 50 minutes. (a bit late leaving work)
Thu June 5: solo swim at pro club
3000 yards. 60 minutes.
5x200 @ 3:00 "build to comfortably fast" -- 2:18 --> 2:14 w/ a good feel for the water
Sat June 7: open-water swim at Aquatic Park with Mess, Haven and Matt Greene
I felt quite good in the water that day.
Sun June 8: Escape from Alcatraz
I was about 90 second down on Potts, versus 2 minutes last year. Looking through the results, most of the guys who exited the water ahead of me are known as being pretty good swimmers.
