Yesterday began my "official" swim training from now until I do the National Championship in Hawaii. I haven't been in the pool since I did a really short sprint race last month at the beach. I have only swam about a dozen times since I did Ironman Canada last August 2010 and two of those times was at a race___Hawaii 70.3, a half ironman triathlon which was in Kona and Portofino Sprint Series, a VERY short sprint race that only allowed 40 people to sign up and had no awards.
I swam a little over half a mile (1000 yds) and it took about 25 minutes (slow!), but felt good. My plan is to swim at least twice a week through the off season. I am also going to start biking again. I haven't been biking much since Ironman Canada. I even did Hawaii 70.3 last June with only about 4 bike rides at only 20 miles each. My splits show it, but I was in Kona to have fun and finish. It was Hawaii after all! I wasn't racing for time.
