First swim! 100y in 2:11! Ouch!

SWIM 1050y in ~30-35 mins, sets of 100y's
RUN 10 miles in 1:40

Thanks to TH for putting the carrot out there. And double thanks for pulling me out of the sprint/oly lanes and into the full/half. Not that I was following their workouts. But rather the idea that half/full is my goal this year.

I felt good for only the first 50y. After that I started to slip in form. But that first 50 felt smooth and strong. The first few tumble turns felt good. And I can get back to that again in time.

I clocked the 3rd 100 at 2:11!!!!!!!!!!! WOW I have a long way to go!!! And my arms had that anaerobic burn afterwards (confirmed by arm soreness later on).

The run was about 60 mins after the swim, in Fo Pa. I ran out 50 mins then turned around and came back. I hadn't eaten much yet in the day so it wasn't an energy-filled run. But that's not what I wanted. My goal was a steady, easy pace with no pushes or walking. Accomplished!
