For me, it's now going on four weeks since my last swim. We were in Turks and Caicos March 7-14 for spring break where I was doing daily open-water swims along the beach. My last swim was a 3-miler on March 13. When we got back to the U.S., we had to go into mandated 14-day quarantine so I wasn't able to get out to go to the pool before they all closed. Who knows when I'll swim again...either open-water warming up (I live in RI), or pools opening again. I am maintaining fitness with bike rides, and a run here and there. And I know I there is other 'dry land' training I could be doing. But my concern when returning to the water is injuring myself because of doing TMTS. I'm just that kind of athlete. Raise you're hand if you think you're a candidate for a TMTS injury too.

Well, I slogged a 1:29 100m today!!! :) I was 43ish at halfway, then I struggled/died. After all that time off, I'm pleased to be able to do sub 1:30 at least. I'm 10sec away from my year-end goal. I believe the seconds will slide off with consistent swimming. This is where I find myself in mid-July. I'm just happy to be able to do this again.
