Go

I had to cut the swim in half today and did only one of the six 200s and one of the five 100s:
  • 350 warm up
  • 6×50 drill
  • 200: 3:15
  • 100: 1:37
  • 350 cool down
Evidently I have only one speed in the pool: Go. There's no fast or slow, there's no VO2 max intensity, there's no warm up or cool down or RPE; there's only go forward. Today I was trying to do something different with my stroke, and although I felt like I took in way more water than usual, it didn't slow me down or speed me up at all. Can you say frustrating?

On to the afternoon run on the trails behind BFY. Since I don't do tempo well, I just ran, aiming for 6+ miles, which I achieved.
  • 47:37, 6.00 miles, 7:56 pace (6:03 best), 723 cal, 171 HR (190 max)
  • Mile 1: 8:08 (7:05), 153 HR
  • Mile 2: 7:44 (6:03), 177 HR
  • Mile 3: 7:56 (6:54), 176 HR
  • Mile 4: 8:22 (6:05), 174 HR
  • Mile 5: 7:53 (6:11), 167 HR
  • Mile 6: 7:29 (6:26), 182 HR
My HR was lower here than it was in my CompuTrainer rides! Something doesn't seem right.
