I'm guessing someone is taking that from a Garmin. It should be doubled if so.

You totally will. Then you'll be eyeing @fishgutzy with absolute envy. I don't think it ever ends. :)

1800 50:37 Not one of my more brilliant swims.

But you SWAM!* *Presuming we're talking weight training and not swimming on an injury, which breaks Rule One.

1500 ~40:00 I really have no better idea how long the swim took. For some reason I kept turning the timer off instead of hitting the interval button on my watch. (In my field this is an ID-10-T error). Anyway, as irritated as I am that I do not have a granularity of data, I am pretty sure my body doesn't care. I swam...

5 minutes. No real distance. But I was in 50F open water starting spring training. My word that is cold. http://swimasslowaschristmas.blogspot.com/2016/04/disappointing-spring-scream.html

1500y 41:41 Wow, I wish I had a 66F pool to train in. I'd feel a lot more comfortable about the summer swims coming up!

You're probably burning more calories than an efficient swimmer just because as an inefficient swimmer, it takes more energy to swim poorly than not. As you get more efficient, you will definitely be able to swim longer. That takes time, as swimming is extremely skill-based. That said... Swimming is not the world most…

I think it was TI, but I don't remember off the top of my head.

I am experiencing pace envy, @fishgutzy !

3600 1:36:36 This amuses me as it was exactly the same time as last week.

Do you stretch? I gotta say that I left off stretching as a thing for several years as I got older, but my body kindly explained to me that this was a Very Bad Idea and now I turn on some Prince and Marvin Gaye almost every night and do a pretty serious stretching routine before I go to bed. It has helped a LOT.

@nuffer are you stretching before you swim? What about hydration? And, maybe a dumb question, but do you get enough potassium in your diet? Cramps are definitely awful. I get them sometimes during long swims. (And as a former ballerina, I take no *kitten* from my calves, either!) Stretching daily is totally the way to go.…

1500 40:25 I think a nice side effect of the long weekend swim was that when I got in the pool this morning, I was thinking, "Okay, this is nothing. Go for it." I need to do those long swims to prep for summer events, but it's nice that it makes my morning workout psychologically easier. (Still hate getting up before the…

3600 yds 1:38:33 Basically I did 100 breast/500 free lather, rinse, repeat.

1700 today. Not really sure how long it took me, as I wound up turning my timer OFF for one of my sets. I figured that swimming was more important than tracking time, so I kept on and didn't sweat it. I've been out of the pool for a couple of weeks. Illness, travel, visitors and a cat passing away have all distracted me…

Mine's fairly easy. "Do you want to DNF the Lake Memphremagog swim? No? Do you want to get your fool self killed in San Francisco bay? No? Good. Get up. Go swim. If you do not swim you're either going to get yourself hurt, or you're going to waste a whole pile of money."

46:35 1650 Total slacker workout. I just kinda put my head down and went for long slow distance. It felt great.

1550 42:50 This was an awful swim. But then, in another way, it wasn't. My shoulders were tighter than a tentrope in the rain, I had to share a lane with a women, who while a lovely person, is flat-out the clumsiest swimmer I have ever seen in my life. Nuttin wrong with being a clumsy swimmer, mind. It's just that swimming…
