Bone-Head Of The Year Award!
I'm not nearly as special as I thought I was....HA! If you read through last weeks blog...I had a pretty awesome swim on Sunday. I thought the pool was marked as meters, as everyone and there mother that worked at the club...swore it was! Not sure why everyone thought that.
Anyway...the swim was so fast I couldn't believe it....even for a yard pool... I thought no way but somewhere in the back of my head I wanted to believe this might be true.
So I woke up this morning and called Wilk. He's a pretty good swimmer and he'll shoot me straight. First Question out of my mouth was, "There's no way that was a meter pool, Right?". His response was, "I didn't want to say anything but that is pretty fast".
So after a talk with the Management at 24 hour fitness...which took about 5 minutes to convince them to look in there books or call someone who knew...I was right. What does that mean...NOTHING. The swim was bitchin...even for yards!
I should have known this from the get-go, but it was the first time in a wetsuit this year and I haven't swam in a meter pool in quite some time. I also didn't give much thought to the times and what they meant.
Anyway...my effort yesterday was IM Cruise Pace and I'm "extremely" happy with my effort and time. 18:54 for a 1500 yard (1:16 / 100 yard) is a huge improvement from last year and am going into this race very happy with where I stand so far.
Also very happy to be wearing the Blue Seventy Helix. Other than the water temp being out of control yesterday....the suit wore beautifully!
Outside of that....I feel super today. Yesterday's bike session left zero fatigue in the legs as well as the T-Run. Couple more workouts for the day and then pack the truck!
I'll have updates as the week goes on..... Possibly later today or after Wednesday.
