Since my last race, I've been overthinking my ability in the water (particularly the open water) - or lack there of. I have to admit that the swim portion of my last race was scary. I hated it and during the swim thought about giving up and never doing a triathlon again. But here I am, scheduled to do the NYC Tri in just 17 days. I'll be doing a team open water swim in Coney Island this Sunday with Carlie and have signed up for the Riverbank Tune Up Swim next weekend. I need as much exposure to this as possible so I don't freak out again. I want to document my 1 mile swim commitment here, so I know how I progress.
1 mile = 32 laps in a 25 meter pool
07.06.09 - 45:00 minutes (rough estimate)
07.06.09 - 44:21 minutes (estimate)
07.07.09 - 40:00 minutes (estimate)
07.09.09 - 35:31 minutes (using stop watch) pretty cool - I need music to get me faster!
07.10.09 - 39:10 minutes (what the hell?!?!)
07.12.09 - 37:47 minutes (open water, Coney Island - this is a little less than a mile)
07.13.09 - 40:06 minutes
07.14.09 - 40:36 minutes (after running hill repeats at the park, not too shabby)
