Shark-Off Drills
May. 19th, 2008 10:41 am(ultimately, a tri-training swim post)
( What gets me out of bed at 5:35 am so I can go swim laps? The Driver vs The Hippie... )
The actual work-out.
My goal: Finish the Tri at Pacific Grove w/o being Shark Bait. The distance is double the last race, which I did in 17 minutes by some cosmic miracle of water-wet suit-drafting magic. I think I'd like to finish the ocean swim in 40 minutes, depending on weather, current, chop, etc. What this means is that I'd like to bring my pool swim time down from 2:30-2:45/lap to 2:20/lap on 900 yd swim (21 min total). ( Day 1, Back in the Pool )
