Tough double

SWIM: 2000y in 51 mins. 600WU, 4x50 hard (15s rest), 10x100 75% (15s), 200 CD. My arms were wore out, probably from yesterday's swim, and this told me that I was swimming wrong. My back should be tired, at least I think that's how it should be. So a few adjustments, and the rest of the swim went better. I could hold good form for the first 50 of the 100's, but suffered a bit on the last 50. Fastest lap was 58 seconds.

RUN: 7 miles 61 mins. Not a record for the run, but I did this 25 mins after the swim, with only a gel and half a nana between. When I first planned the run, I was thinking of doing only 5 miles or so. But that's never how it goes. I got in a group of 4 others, one was training for Boston another for IML. We held an 8:43 pace, with my lungs and legs burning the whole way. Not my best BRR run.

Did these both in the afternoon. Might have been a better run if I had swum in the morning? Fueled better? Either way, feels great.
