3300 yards - 1 hr 10 min for me yesterday! AND - the pool heater was broken so the water temp was 75 degrees. See how dedicated I am to this team?!

I keep forgetting to enter my info in the spreadsheet. I'll go do that right now.

Originally posted by Lovey Another 25 minutes for the swim team. I was suppose to be at the pool at 5:30 this morning but instead I was just rolling out of bed. I got 25 minutes in. I rather show up late and swim less than not show up at all. I wouldn't have gotten a swim in later.

Originally posted by msteiner Updated my running.  Can't let the swim team try to dominate!

Originally posted by Taringa Another 60 minutes for the swim team, we're in the lead (thanks Diana!) Keep it up folks

Nope, runners are around 64% to swimmers at 61%....but we both beat the bikers at just over 50%

without Diana, the swimmers are at 55, bikers 54.99. So essentially a tie.

That's because Diana is a boss!

Originally posted by Lovey I am so proud of myself. I was so inconsistent in my swimming, I made no progress. I swam once a week and sometimes I would add a second swim but never consistently. Then I only swam once a week over the summer even though I was suppose to be following my "swim zero to one mile program". Since starting this challenge, I have swam 3x a week. If I am late for swim class or my swim group, I go anyway instead of rolling over in bed like I use to. The improvement in my swim and endurance this month is so noticeable I could kick myself for not sticking with it last year. I am looking forward to what I my progress will be by the end of the month.

Originally posted by Lovey Do you consider swimming 1650 yards a mile?  I know that's what Olympic and International competition uses.  However, 1 mile in yards is 1760, so most pools round to 1800 or 72 lengths. For your workouts, do you base it on a race mile of 1650 yards or an actual mile of 1760 or the rounded pool mile 1800 yards?

Since I've been racing and entering data into a training blog on BT, I guess I don't think about the distance in miles anymore. I just enter yards into the log.
