I was just reading this blog:chuckiev.blogspot.com/.../swimming-thoughts-galore.html
This guy claims that he never swam before in his life. At first it took him 36 minutes to swim 1500 meters. After only one year he could swim that in LESS than half the time.
After 17 years of swimming I can't swim 1500 meters in less than 18 minutes. Either I'm doing something wrong or that guy is full of.....
Is it possible to get that fast THAT FAST?
I think in cycling and in running, 5K is either 2.7 or 3.2 miles.
3.1 miles, actually.
Definitely do-able in 48 minutes.
Yeah, running or on a bike! :)
By the way, the fastest USMS time for the 5K postal is 58:23:56 by Jeff Erwin. Swimming a 5K in 48 minutes requires a pace of 57.6 seconds/100 meters and that's faster than Hackett's WR 1500 pace.
