Swim Progress

I haven't been posting as much lately because of too much going on, but I did want to get my latest swim progress documented so when I come back to look at it later, I'll have it noted.

This past weekend, I did a little swim, bike, run action in honor of Kona. I hit the pool first and swam my usual warmup and drills. Then I did a mile straight to see how I was progressing. I hit the wall for the first 1000 yds in 15:38, so that's already a 20 second improvement from just 2 weeks ago. I finished the mile in 27:21, which is the first time I've ever done a mile in less than 30 minutes. Not only was it under 30, it was easily under 30.

And on some of the main sets I've been doing lately, I've done a 200 in 2:50, a 100 in 1:24, and a 50 in 0:39. I had never broken 1:26 for a 100 before or broken ~0:41 for a 50. The first week back at training, I did 19K yds and the 2nd week back at it I did 15,350. This week, I'm going to get in a fair amount, too. I know the extra volume is helping so I am going to keep at it for a while (2-3 months at least).
