I swam the 1500 (SCM) about 10 weeks apart and ended with almost identical times (0.35 faster today) in spite of the training I've been doing in the meantime. In today's race I followed a strategy of intentionally going slower at the beginning. Maybe I've hit my peak for my age. Somewhere after 1000 meters I remember thinking "I am never swimming this race again". We'll see! leg 11/07 2/08 1 34.46 0:36.84 2 38.04 0:40.07 3 39.88 0:42.98 4 40.54 0:42.62 5 41.63 0:42.31 6 41.93 0:42.39 7 42.64 0:42.49 8 42.96 0:43.44 9 42.78 0:43.76 10 43.19 0:43.75 11 43.19 0:43.31 12 43.68 0:43.16 13 44.57 0:43.95 14 44.16 0:43.62 15 44.47 0:43.95 16 43.81 0:43.49 17 44.47 0:44.00 18 45.17 0:44.00 19 44.01 0:44.93 20 45.97 0:44.00 21 45.59 0:44.36 22 44.08 0:44.72 23 45.32 0:44.40 24 45.56 0:45.10 25 45.58 0:44.89 26 44.29 0:44.81 27 44.36 0:45.06 28 45.93 0:44.75 29 44.29 0:43.50 30 42.65 0:38.05 cumulative leg 11/07 2/08 1 34.46 36.84 2 1:12.50 1:16.92 3 1:52.38 1:59.91 4 2:32.92 2:42.53 5 3:14.55 3:24.85 6 3:56.48 4:07.24 7 4:39.12 4:49.73 8 5:22.08 5:33.18 9 6:04.86 6:16.95 10 6:48.05 7:00.71 11 7:31.24 7:44.02 12 8:14.92 8:27.18 13 8:59.49 9:11.14 14 9:43.65 9:54.77 15 10:28.12 10:38.72 16 11:11.93 11:22.21 17 11:56.40 12:06.22 18 12:41.57 12:50.23 19 13:25.58 13:35.17 20 14:11.55 14:19.17 21 14:57.14 15:03.53 22 15:41.22 15:48.25 23 16:26.54 16:32.66 24 17:12.10 17:17.76 25 17:57.68 18:02.65 26 18:41.97 18:47.47 27 19:26.33 19:32.54 28 20:12.26 20:17.29 29 20:56.55 21:00.79 30 21:39.20 21:38.85

  • I think the fact that you went from 11.5 seconds between slowest and fastest 50s to 8.3 seconds shows a pretty marked improvement since your last 1500. One thing I noticed is your 1200-1350 times started slowing up ... that is just about the time to start warming up the afterburners.
