Okay, I guess what I was saying is relative to race distances, I have adapted to the swim much faster as it relates to race distances. I don't believe swimming for 5 or 6 hours can at all be comparable to riding for 5 or 6 hours however. Different muscles have different capabilities. I can't imagine how long I would last if I tried to pedal my bike with my tongue!
To Fleck's point, I definitely am new to the sport. I pissed around for 5 years, but in terms of consistent training, I have about 1 year under my belt.
Forgive me, but I am still confused, if I can run 26 miles at a 9 minute pace, but only 4 miles at a 7 minute pace. Am I lacking speed or endurance? Ignoring the nuerological component.
