This week? How about next week, or the week after.

Sure, I'll give it a go. Probably going to be disappointed, though.

When are you swimming?

6:40

I've begun to listen to Mr. Hall and have changed my breathing pattern. Definitely learned that I am weak on the left, but it feels just right from an oxygen perspective. Lots of work to do.

I did my first swim in a long time today (third since October). I'll get back to you in March.

I have a swim meet this weekend also. I'll post my time today as I am doing my 500 free today after work.

5:52 (SCY) yesterday morning to cap off my workout. Fast for me now, and yet still, much slower than when I was swimming competitively in middle school/high school.

I'm game.. will post soon after I do it.

Yards or meters?

I'll be doing SCY. I'm sure people will state their UOM when they post.

yeesh, right now? Maybe crack 7:00, if that. Need to get my fat off-season ass back on the routine, then probably 6:30-6:40 again. That's usually about all I get to in-season with just a few weekday lunch swims (30-40min); beyond that it's not worth diverting any more training time from running/biking. Did 5:40s as a kid back in the day.

Yawn. Not even close to my all-time PR of 5:17.94.

"Go yell at an M&M"

Dropped my first 500 TT. I have been training hard now for...4 days. That doesn't include the 3 days I swam in December or all those days back in august. What I am saying is that this was a benchmark to identify a lack of pool fitness. 5:42 and I almost killed myself doing it. Last April I was repeating 5:10's on a 5:45. Ug. So fat right now.

So when do we do 2100 and 4200 TT's?

6:35. I'm ok with it. I'm only swimming 2 days a week, and it was at 9600'. Should be closer to 6 flat, but ok for dead of winter.

You should do a 400 if you are swimming metres... I only ever swam the 500 once (at Husky relays) and can't remember how fast I went but I know it was under 5:00. We had a double duel the next day vs UW and Alaska (they really sucked). UW put up a fight but we still put them to bed pretty quick. (didn't hurt that we had a double olympic medalist in both IM's pulling workhorse duty).

6:46 which I'm really happy with only swimming twice a week.

High School PR was a 5:24 and best sprint tri time has been 6:03

Ok, I'm swimming a meet this Saturday that I will kick off with a 500scy.
I'm not a swimmer so don't expect anything impressive.

Maybe tomorrow morning I will play along. But only if Klehner does also :0)

7:21 scm (or ~6:40 pace for 500 scy)

The best I've done is a 6:45 in a swim meet.

I did a 14:06 1000 from a push-off so I know I can go at least 7:03 now :)

I swim much better in a pool compared to open water though, I've got pretty good turns :)

I pressed a 500 scy out this AM in mid-workout - 5:32

5:26 SCY, It was quite painfull!

Went 6:08 last Sunday, 500 scy. Goal is to get under 6 flat this winter.
