So having just caught-up on Danasty's last post about his swimming times, this might not as impressive to him, but today's swim workout was a great mental milestone. First off, I have a personal goal to go below 26 minutes in the swim portion of the triathlon. It's a big goal for me, and I've been working hard at it for the past month. After a good 15 minute warm-up, I started on my 1500 m. swim with a goal of going 25 minutes. The first lap was 45 sec. and the rest were 50 right on the dot. It was good for me becuase I proved to my body that I'm capable of physically swimming the time, and I didn't even feel drained at the end of it. And it was also after a good 80 minute run with the cross-country team this morning. Nothing intense, just a good pace through rolling trails in the mountains as we continue to build our base.
On another high note, I got a sweet package in the mail today. About a week ago, I found a 70% discount on Xterra swimsuits, and felt that a Vector Pro was a reasonable thought for the discount. I also had the comforting thought I would much rather put money into doing triathlons than looking forward to a newer car, eating out (which hasn't been for a while due to clean eating at home,) or dating (which really isn't much of an option out here anyways.) Life is good, gentlemen, and I'm looking forward to our races.
No shame in times here, Krafty. I think we can all agree I'll be the first out of the water, but if you keep pushing that 26 min target, I may not be alone long and it could be a very short game of chase the rabbit.
