Expert  1194   |  Subject: 3500yrd non stop today. All front crawl!When I went to the pool today I had a awesome swim! I swam 3500 yrds in 1 hour and 5 min all front crawl non stop at a 1min 52sec 100 avg. WOW! Thats not to bad. (for me anyway) I know this is just the warm up for some of you but when I first started doing tri's two years ago, I thought this impossible for me. I was struggling to make 50yrds without breathing like I had just sprinted a mile. The swim wasn't much better last season so told myself that this season the swim was going to be one of the better events for me. If I can swim like this in all of my events this year, I'll actualy still see some swim caps bobbing around in the water while I'm running to T1.  |

Extreme Veteran 522 MN | Subject: RE: 3500yrd non stop today. All front crawl! You should be more proud of yourself than you are showing. I'll bet 70% of this board could not do 2 miles straight (including me right now). bty, in 2005 sofreshsoclean and I got into a swim contest. I would do 2 miles, he did 2.5, 2.7, 3. It was killing me. Knowing he was a college swimmer and could do way more than me I had to put it where he would not WANT to do it. I did 5 miles plus a 50 meter (in case I messed up my counting). Here is my log http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/index-weekly.asp?memberid=25806&year=2005&month=12&day=16 Congrats! |

Supersonicus Idioticus 2439 Thunder Bay, ON | Subject: RE: 3500yrd non stop today. All front crawl! umm... I've been swimming for 14 years, and 3500y isn't just a warm up. Sure, we go 6000y some days, but you'd be closer to that mark had you actually stopped and rested during intervals. I say that's a pretty darn good swim!!! |

Keep at it smcollins, The only swim training I had was a masters program for 2 months last summer and I just started swimming again in mid december for a 1/2 ironman in May and things just started to click a few weeks ago, so keep going it will get better if you keep it up. Good luck! |

Master 2202 St. Louis | Subject: RE: 3500yrd non stop today. All front crawl! 3500yds is a lot... thats about the longest swim days I have ever done. I havent done it all continuous like that though. Out of curiousity, what made you want to swim 3500 continuous instead of breaking it up? Just curious. |
