Well, now I remember what it feels like to feel slow in the pool... like I'm going nowhere fast. When you watch the bottom of the pool and it seems to stand still. In reality, I was still doing alright, somewhere around 4:10-4:20 250s on a 4:30 split. I think for a half-iron, I've saved about 2-3 minutes in the water, and I think compared to my previous full-iron swim, I have probably saved in the 7-8 minute range. But then again, I did a 1:22 before, so it shouldn't be that hard to beat. I think I'm down in the 1:15 range now, which I think is a decent improvement for a couple of months in the pool.
This week, I almost broke the 10K mark for the week, which for most serious folks, is not much. But for somebody with a family with two young kids and a full-time job, that's not bad. I've been getting in at least 3 and 4 swims in most weeks. If I can do a 1:10-1:15 in L'ville without expending to much energy, I will be really happy and I think that is entirely possible. It may be time to begin some bike or run focus in the next few weeks, but I'll have to consult with coach!
