The now "regularly-scheduled" 3,000 yard Monday lunch-time swim. The total time was 1:07:33 so I shaved 39 seconds off from last week's effort. Happiness. I also moved the break to after the 2,000 yd mark so I could get a total for the Half-Iron swim distance. Splits:
- 1st 500 yds: 10:35.5
- 2nd 500 yds: 10:52
- 3rd 500 yds: 11:04
- 4th 500 yds: 11:16.5
- Accel Gel & water break: 0:41
- 5th 500 yds: 11:31
- 6th 500 yds: 11:33
So I did the 2,000 yd Half-Iron swim in 43:48.5. I also captured an additional split time after the first 300 yds - 6 min, 14.63 sec - this is to get an idea of how fast I will do the swim portion of next Sunday's Dallas Athletes Monster Sprint Triathlon, which will be held right down the street from my house. :-)
I put down 5:45 for my 300 meter swim time. I don't know if I can shave off another 30 seconds but wearing a swim cap and tri-shorts (instead of baggy swim trunks) + a little race-day adrenaline should help narrow the gap.
