Shew, been a while since my last post. Almost 30 seconds now. At least at the conclusion of this I'll be caught up and maybe I'll be able to stay caught up. Today was a "race specific" swim as the program called it. I don't know why, but I guess it may have something to do with the face that I was gassed at the end. It consisted of 4x50 for a warm up, which I did way too hard. Then it was 2 x 1000 and an RPE of 4 then 6. Shew, that was tough. I'm not used to swimming that long for that far. I guess it's getting me ready for the 4000+ yards of swimming I'll be doing at race pace on race day. Of course I have no intention of hurrying through that swim, I'm not exactly gitty about the prospect of riding my bike for 112 miles. But anyway, the swim went as well as could be expected. I was drained and my heart was pounding. I was over 180 for a good bit of it, which certainly is more than RPE 6. I think if I had slowed down my warm up I'd have been better set for it.
See ya tomorrow after my 90 min run!
