A Slow Swim Is Better Than No Swim

2,500 yards in 54:35 at lunch today.  Not super fast, but a solid effort and I didn't even get dizzy despite no Meclizine.

The first three sets were normal freestyle (preparing for the season's upcoming Olympic distance tris with their 1,500 meter swim legs), the next set was breaststroke only (prep for Navy Seal Fitness Challenge) and the final set was of alternating 50-yard laps of freestyle and breaststroke. My splits:
  • 1st 500 yds: 10:38
  • 2nd 500 yds: 10:49
  • 3nd 500 yds: 10:54
  • Water/AccelGel break: 0:36.5
  • 4th 500 yds: 10:23
  • Water/AccelGel break: 0:36.5
  • 5th 500 yds: 10:38
Overall, a solid effort.  I am happy.
