BIKE 80 mins and 24 miles, 12x3:30 (30)
SWIM 54 mins and 2300y, 2x750
The bike was early in the morning, the swim was supposed to follow. But I got lazy and hungry, mostly lazy really, and ended up swimming in the middle of the day. That's not such a bad thing really, except it messes up my pre-planned meal schedule that is set up to optimize the empty stomach/good energy ratios.
I pushed the 3:30 intervals but didn't track the distance covered. I just aimed for 20 mph.
The swim was 2x750, first one swim 75% and the second pull 80-85%. I really focused on wide front swimming, but as the laps wore on during each set it would falter. The swim set was in 15:20-ish, the counter said ave 50y of 1:01. Boo....not happy with that, but it was steady and I didn't slow as the set went on. So that's a bonus.
The second set was in 14:51. I originally didn't think I'd want to pull the entire thing, but as I got going I found I was working on breathing and skipping a breath. I was just cruising along and didn't stop! Not sure why the plan said to pull that...and not sure why I did it! What's the benefit? Feeds my laziness.
I felt so much better after the swim!
