    1st time in ages that I had the time to do a proper 5km swim - managed it in 1 hour and 43 minutes. Got to do this more often as really want to get below 1 hour 40 mins.

    I did swim yesterday. My 1000 meter breast were a little bit slower than last time, but I had a little technique breakthrough (found out what the dolphin movement is good for), and for the first time ever I managed to crawl 100m :)

    Finally back in the pool after about 10 days away due to flu etc.
    eased myself into it with about 2.4 km (an estimate as it was a weird sized pool and I was swimming diagonally across) but strictly freestyle with no IM.

    I'm on a business trip and hadn't carried swimming trunks so bought some shorts where I am, and only realized halfway through my swim that my phone was with me IN THE WATER - in the pocket of the temporary swim shorts!

    Bummer!!!

    I will probably know in the next few days after it dries if a smartphone can survive 30 min in the water!!!!!

    a slow mile after a 5k fast walk/ jog.
    still logging the hard yards at both to quicker/fitter/stronger.

    Yay! Swam fast 1km with a new speed record: 24 minutes, 50 seconds faster than last time. Did some 50m speed tests on the four strokes and found out breast was just about faster than crawling, butterfly is ok-ish and back crawl has a crawling speed. Then i did some slower 500m breast, just to see if I can swim without being competitive.

    Great job Bruce, CW & yirara!!!!!

    Repeated the 6500 free in 114 minutes today instead of alternating days with my other workout - I'll do that one tomorrow because the overall time is a little less & I want to be out of the water a little earlier.......

    3.5 km (2.2 miles) in 90 min.
    Had hoped to do a 5 km but needed to be somewhere after that so had to finish early!

    Yesterday's swim was at sea level due to work. Today's was at 1650 m above sea level which made for a far more breathless swim!

    250 free, 500 free, 1000 free, 5 x 200 I.M., 500 free, 5 x 100 I.M., 1000 free, 500 free, 250 free in 97 minutes, done begrudgingly by my body, which spent all morning tying to convince me to not swim today. First, my stomach was off. When that didn't stop me my hip stiffened up. When that didn't work my knee started acting up. When that didn't work my lower back started to hurt. I went anyway & pushed through, even though my form felt crappy & I felt slow. Ironically, the lifeguard (who is there most days & has seen me swim PLENTY of times) said it looked like I had a strong day. Go figure.......

    Yes, While on a Business Day trip to Grande Praire, AB. I managed to get in about an hour of time at the new Eastlink Rec Center at the Big 50 m Pool. 100 meters per lap 16 laps Front Crawl = 1.6 km ~ 1.0 mile . So it was a good day after that.

    Today I managed to swim 2000m breast in 50:50. Longest distance ever swam consciously for me. I could have been a little bit faster, but two teenage girls thought it was a great idea to float with their inflatable boat in exactly that one line I was swimming in near the end.
