swam my first ever 1hr postal this morning and was able to do 5,000. It was actually kinda fun, but I admit, I kinda got bored after the first mile. How does distance stack up for a 43yr old?
I timed for Kevin, Kira timed for Jeff. I swam the second hour, and got 4650. I think Jeff got 57XX. I know he added 300+/- from last year when I timed him. Kevin did not exceed his yardage from last week. He said he could feel it. He over-trained this week, which didn't help him yesterday.
How'd you do last week?
I feel like I need to get in the pool today and swim this soreness off.
Great job Alex! I assume that you had to swim alone in the second heat since I noticed that Kira posted on FB that she was going to swim it today? That's too bad; it's nice to swim with someone to share your misery ;-)
Also a bummer that Kevin didn't beat his yardage last week. I know that he really wanted to break 5600. Swimming that race two weeks in a row would be brutal though. And, well, Jeff's just amazing!
I did okay. Around my average since I started participating in the event. I've gone more yards but also fewer, so I can't complain (5070). I was on pace to go 5100 at the 30 minute mark, but I couldn't hold onto it, oh well.
I would really like to swim it with both you and Kira. I think that we'd be good for each other. Maybe in 2011?
