Swim #11, Run, and More

This is the first time I've done swim #11 (the last time, I only swam 1,000m but don't know why I didn't finish). Today I'll compare times with Swim #6, which was a straight 2,500m during which I timed every 500m.
  • May 22: 9:38 (I might have added 50m, and here I breathed with every left stroke), 8:51 (here and for the following, I breathed with every other stroke), 8:46, 8:52, 8:57, 8:52. Average (counting the first at 8:50): 8:51 per 500. Total time: 53:58.39
  • March 24: 8:34, 8:32, 8:38, 8:51, 8:52 (1:45, 1:47, 1:48, 2:39 [extra 50, so we're going with 1:49], 1:43). Average: 8:41 per 500. Total time: 43:31
  • March 5: 7:58 (I might have missed 50m here), 8:59, 9:12, 9:10, 9:04 (1:51, 1:51, 1:50, 1:50, 1:43). Average: 8:52 per 500. Total time: 44:28
  • February 17: 10:01 (extra 50), 8:32 (missed 50), 9:53, 7:33 (missed 100), 9:26 (1:52, 1:53, 1:52, 1:52, 1:47). Average: 9 minutes per 500. Total time: 45:02

At 11 pm, a band showed up at my apartment. I had been expecting them; they are here to play at Rocketown in Nashville on Monday. Mike and Eunice, Liz's parents, brought their son Nick (who is staying with a couple of my friends) and these girls: Ashley, Hannah, Kara, Bekah, and Danielle. They got set up in the living room (who knew my apartment could house 6 girls?) and headed to bed. It was a late night for me!
