Today I went back to the Atkinson pool in Sudbury to do some lap swimming. I wanted to get a couple more 400 yd swims in, get more practice in a lap pool, and practice flip turns so that I might be proficient enough to use them in the sprint tri next weekend.
Unfortunately, I had to share a lane with other people during most of the time I was there. That made it a bit more difficult to practice the flip turns, because I dont have the swimming aerobic capacity to do them time after time without needing to slow down a bit. So - practicing flip turns was thrown out.
The other consequence of sharing a lane is that I wasn't as good about timing laps and keep track of how far I had gone between periods of rest. So my overall distance swum is unknown.
So in the end, it became an opportunity to just get some long distance swim time in. I decided to stay for an hour, including rest breaks. I think that was around the same amount of time I was there the week before, where I know I logged about 38 minutes of actual swim time. I think an estimate of 1/3 rest to 2/3 swimming is reasonably accurate.
Total Time: 1 Hr
Distance: ~1800 yds
