We got back on the swimming horse this week. Three solid workouts, with a total distance of just over 4km for myself. The workouts are really the way to go - having a checklist of things to get through in an hour or an hour and a half is so much mentally easier than trying to get in the pool and just keep swimming for 1500 metres. That would be 60 lengths in a normal sized pool. I was also able to do fairly consistent 0:45 second 50m lengths, which is my goal pace. Obviously 50m is much different than 750, but at least I know I can actually move that fast. All I need to do now is learn to hold it for longer.
Even better than the swimming progress, I was able to run so far that I blistered both of my feet. For me this is a good thing. Six kilometres without IT pain is farther than I have to race, so that is a huge confidence boost. Now I just have to do it fast.
We finished the week off at Whistler. Not too shabby.
