I am doing the zero to 1 mile swimming program. http://ruthkazez.com/ZeroTo1mile.html
I am currently in week 5 which has me swimming about 0.6 miles nonstop.
Yesterday went to Lake Allatoona for some open water swimming practice. I felt strong through the 1000 yards, which took 20 minutes. Sighting needs work. Finished up with 4 x 100s although it was hard to judge distance so I just swam for 3 minute intervals. Ran in to some chop right at the finish. Solid effort but I think I need to rest my right
shoulder as it's twingy.
I have felt really uninspired this week. Rather flat I must say.
Renee bought a road bike yesterday and I know she's eager to get riding. We are still dialing it in. She is nervous about the clipless pedals.
On Wednesday, did the 45-mile loop at White with Lisa Randall. I was feeling flat most of the ride and didn't eat enough for breakfast.
Thursday, I did a speed run workout at the Silver Comet during lunch break. I managed a 7:58 over 4 miles. Not too shabby.
Friday I rested because I thought I was going to enter the 1k Georgia Games Open Water Swim. Wellllll that didn't happen because my math was off. I didn't realize 1k is about 1100 yards, which I've never swam before. So I reconsidered and I'm glad I did.
Saturday Renee and I went to Lake Allatoona for a lake swim. I put in 1.2 miles and did a 1000 yard stretch in 20 min. I should be able to swim a mile pretty soon.
Today I put in a bike/run brick at Blanket's Creek. My rear wheel had a spoke pop and I was a little rusty on the trails plus it was slippery from all the rain. Then I ran South loop and was putting in 11s and 12s. Pretty slow but I was tired and legs were HEAVY.
Now, I must decide if I'm entering the Blue Ridge Tri on Sunday with a start time of 7am! Sheesh.
