Swim Faster

Trying to swim faster.

Since this was supposed to be a recovery day from yesterday's sprint tri (and because I was very late getting to the gym and had to back to the office for a 1:00 PM meeting), I only swam 1,000 meters. However, I tried to push my swim speed.

I completed the first 500m in 11:35.6, and (after a 1 minute, 24.5 second break) I did the second set in 11:57.6. So the the total time was 24:56.67 - of which 23 min, 32 sec was swimming.

These times are nowhere close to my race pace (11:35 for the first 500m is only a 2:19/100M pace) but much faster than my usual training swims. Now I just have to keep it up.
