MAA Swim #5

Swam 6 sets of 6 lengths. That's 648 meters, which is only 102 meters short of the sprint triathlon distance. Took a break between each set, but felt pretty good at the end. Seven sets of 6 lengths will have me doing 752 meters, so I'm almost there.

MAA Swim #4

Swam three sets of seven lengths front crawl. Started to try to do three strokes breath left, three strokes breath right and so on, really need to work on breathing right. Swam the last seven lengths a mixture of various strokes. 28 lengths, 504 metres.

Swim

In training for a triathlon I may never do I swam for the first time with swim training in mind. At the Valois Pool I swam four laps (note, a lap is defined as swimming the span from one side to the other, so four laps means start on side A, ->B, ->A, ->B ->A). I then took a three minute break, swam four laps again, took a five minute break, and then swam six laps. The six laps I swam in about 200 seconds. I need to find out what the distance is of each lap, as I am working my way up to get to 750m. Mind you, I won't be in that pool for much longer as the summer is wrapping up soon.
