I forgot my workout swim routine today at the house, so when I got to the pool I decided to swim the 2.4 mile IM leg.

The best I can figure, 2.4 miles is 84.5 laps (25 Yard Pool)......is that about right?

This was my longest swim to date, and while it was boring being in the pool for that long, I didn't get winded or tired one bit.

My time was 1:18;29........MOP Time?

You got the math spot-on. Congrats on the killer swim! I haven't swum 2.4 in since early this year and not continuously in just about forever. Good luck at IM!

Thanks...I was really surprised how "easy" it was to do.  My main thought while swimming was: "this is so much easier on the body than running, and you only have to do it for 1/3 of the time in a race". 

I ran 17 miles (15 mile run then a 2 mile run later that day) on Friday.  I thought I would be fatigued from that, but I guess not...THANKS CHOCOLATE MILK!

The deeper into IM training I go, the more I realize how mental this thing is.  If you believe you can do it, more than likely your body can accomplish it.

I am training for Beach To Battleship 140.6 on November 1st.
