Hi Gang...
Today was my first day back in the pool in nearly 3 months! I've really rusted up in terms of ability...lost alot of endurance and strength. on the 100 I was coming in on 2:00...basically back to square one. After a 100 I was tired!! It's too bad, especially since I was getting strong.
I'm wondering how long you think it will take me to get back to my normal 1:35-1:40?
Ultimately, I regret taking time off...I was really getting fast with great endurance and comfort. Winter just takes it out of me!!
Thanks for your thoughts,

wow--1:06 or 1:08. I never was that fast, not even in high school. My best time was around 1:10 or so...and that's race pace at a swim meet.
this 1:35 or so I speak of is a casual pace...when I was coming in at that I'm not really sure what my race pace would have been...I should have gone to a meet!!
thanks for the encouragement. I know that if want to have decent times this summer in triathlon events I've got to keep my butt in the pool! Today was a big lesson.
