I got back in the pool after a 3 week hiatus. It was nice to get a break to heal and recover, let the muscles become stronger and take a break. I have started running again consistently as well. In fact, i did 4x1mile repeats the other day. I didn't do them on a track because it has always been harder to keep pace on a track, so i did them on the streets around my house. Keeps the pace more realistic too. I ran 6:21, 6:08, 5:51, and 6:12. I figured the last one was slower and it was time to stop. But, i thought about it and it was only 4 seconds slower than my second mile and it was the same direction on the streets. So, anyway it was a good workout and felt good to run (relatively) fast again.
Back to swimming. I got back in the pool. Swam 1300m yesterday and the last 700m was in 13min 30sec. Which is very motivating. I have a triathlon planned for July 20th. And it has a 700m swim and i want to get my swim down to around or under 13 minutes at the very slowest. Ideally a low 12min swim would be great. My bike and run splits are going to be my strong points and if i could drop my swim down, i am looking at, maybe, a podium finish. At least maybe an age group podium finish. That would be the highlight of my triathlon career thus far.
