Ironman Augusta 70.3 - 75 Days to go

This morning I did a series of "sprints" in the pool to work on my speed. It was incredibly challenging in a different way than my long swims. My long swims prove to me that I can do it and that it's a surmountable obstacle. The sprints prove a whole different point, that it can be done much faster. When I combined my sprint times over the 1000M, I got a time of 21:40, which is much less than my previous record of 25:12. Now it's just a matter of doing that speed throughout the full 2000M length of the 1/2 Ironman.

It was exciting to see what's possible and that by the time of the event, I could be sub 40 minutes on the 2000M swim. That would be awesome!
