I am now about 9 weeks out from IMAZ. I came into tri as a strong(ish) cyclist, ok runner and "never been 1 side of the pool to the other" swimmer.
My first IM I swam a 1:10, 2nd was 1:07 (with some bad sighting bonus distance) I put in a lot of work this year in the pool. I set best times for my 100yd, 200yd, and 500 and 1000yd. Good news.
I have done a few open water swims, and most of them are at a slower pace then I have ever been. I feel like in the pool I have a feel for the pace I am swimming that maybe I don't have open water.
Anyone else had something similar?
