Holy crap I had a good swim tonight. Everything clicked. Normally during my swims I swim a lap and take a break because I am so out of breath. Two laps without a break was pushing it. However, today I found my groove and finally figured out how to pace myself.
I was able to do 5 laps (250 yards) at a time without taking a break.
Even after each 250 yard set I was still feeling great and breathing normally. The Wilkes-Barre Triathlon (in which I am only doing the swim) is looking a lot more doable. That is a 1500m swim (about 30 laps I think) and I was really worried about being able to even finish that until today.
Oh and fyi the Steelman is only 800 yards so I have that in the bag.
Awesome day.
Tomorrow might be a late night run.
keep it up youre doing great! Swimming is a great way to lose weight and it is SO much better for your joints than running is.
