I had my best pool swim so far today. I swam 1 mile in 34 minutes. To some that is by no means "blazin", but I am a slow swimmer who will get better. Considering I swam Mooseman at 34 minutes (.93) two years ago, I am pumped. I swim so much faster in a race, that my 28 minute goal for Mooseman, isn't that far of a stretch. If I swam like I did today at Mooseman, (wetsuit, no turns and hopefully some drafting) I think I would have swam around a 30 minute race. Nice!!
How I came up with that,
34 minutes in seconds is 2040 seconds.
Multiply 2040 x .93 (distance of Mooseman) = 1897.2
Convert 1897.2 into minutes you get 31:40
Throw in the bouyancy of a wetsuit and take a way all the wall turns and I get
30 Minutes!
What I need to do to get down to 28 minutes.
Be able to swim 1 mile at the pool in 31:40.
In order to do that I have to shave 6 second off my mile swim every week. Sound like a lot, but it is only 1/3 of 1% improvement the each week.
