For the last 9 weeks or so I have turned myself into what Dan termed a "picklehead", doing more swimming than ever and averaging about 20,000 meters a week since mid December, most of which is done starting at about 5AM 4-6 times a week. Northern IL isn't the best place to do a lot of riding this time of year so.....
After getting some stroke advice and buying the short Multisport swimming tape that had been mentioned on the forum, I have been working at it, and today brought my 2000 meter test time down from 32:17 to 30:09. I know that probably won't sound too great to a lot of you, but for this 188 pound 47-year old it is a small winter-time victory.
This will be my 19th year or triathlon-ing and I hope it helps some!
Now, about my grand total of 11 miles of running this week....:)
Best,
Mark
