27 Minute Swim - 11/2

I really wanted to go for a long run this past weekend, but I needed to get some car repair work done, and it was the kind of thing that once started, it had to be finished.

So I was somewhat upset at the sequence of events, but for the sake of doing something, I did some time in the endless pool.

Previously, I had been setting the power to 40, and I've found that after a couple minutes, the power always seems to go down by about 5 - so I'd end with the power set to 35. This time I tried things out by bringing the power up to 50. It settled down to 45 before too long, but the counter current was significantly faster. I used this opportunity to start working on my form, trying to find ways to make it more efficient.

Lap 1: 4:47 avg HR 128 power setting 35
Lap 2: 17:19 avg HR 157 power setting 45
Lap 3: 1:30 rest
Lap 4: 4:48 avg HR 126 power setting 45
