Huffing and Puffing In the Pool

But my times are getting faster so I guess it's worth it. 2,500 yard swim - completed in 53:14 with splits of:

• 1st 500 yds: 9:55.5
• 2nd 500 yds: 10:16
• 3rd 500 yds: 10:39
• Accel Gel & water break: 0:31
• 4th 500 yds: 10:53
• 5th 500 yds: 10:59

39 seconds faster than Monday's time for the first 2,500 yards. However, I was a little drained and didn't feel like doing the final 500 yards for a full 3,000. Need to work on both speed *and* stamina.
