Swimming the Distance

Swim - 3 km

It does take a while to swim nearly 2 miles, esp at my pace. But I am getting faster and having a wetsuit on does help immensely. I was pretty happy with my splits, esp since the last was almost as quick as my first. But I still have a lot of speed to make up.

First 1000 meters - 19:45
Second 1000 meters - 21:15
Third 1000 meters - 21:40

I am getting there. I could have swam the last 800 meters no problem, but will wait a couple more weeks to get up there. I believe I need to get in at least 3km every time I swim. That sounds like a great base to work from.

But oh how tired I was throughout the day after that swim. I didn't nap, but could have gone to sleep for the night at 5:30pm. I made it till 9:15 barely, but that sleep was delightful.

Little by little I am getting these distances down.
