Last night 1200y in 30 minutes. Finally back in the pool last week after more than four months off. Have worked back to where I was at that point, and should be doing my usual mile plus in another week or so. Hard to believe how quickly the speed and distance goes away. Have taken ten seconds/100y off my pace in a week, but it's been a struggle. Winter swim is so awesome. I've missed it!2

Also, great job everyone. I didn't scroll through everything, but did catch that @fishgutzy did an amazing ten mile swim -- wow!1

Welcome back, @nuffer ! That must have felt soooo good! Speed and distance seem to slide off a cliff for me, but they also return pretty well if I've kept my conditioning up, which I suspect you do. You'll be back before you know it. If I bothered to put up a profile, it would look remarkably similar to yours (the kids in college, the 1 & 2 mile goals, the sausages hanging up!
). I reached my 2-mile goal last spring, getting my body ready to climb Mt. St. Helens here in the PNW. I tried to get a 2-mile swim in once a week, with the distance for my "regular" swim increasing to a mile + .5. I'm hoping to keep up longer distances over winter when it's hard to get to the pool because it's dark and cold, and my house is warm and cozy.
3300y yesterday. I didn't want to swim that far, but I just used the time I had before the deep water cardio class, and that's where I got. I slept SO deeply.2 -

Hang in there. It will be clean and beautiful and ready for you. And it will feel great!0 -
1350y in 35 minutes tonight. Seems to be many more people doing evening swim this year. We'll see if they're still coming out in December when it's 40 degrees and raining hard
Nice work on that 3300y, @girlwithcurls21 -
