Back in the pool

I went for my first swim since The World's Toughest in May.  Before that I hadn't swum since the Vineman last year.  Anyway, I went to Ives Pool in Slowblastapple.  I swam 4000 yards, and felt okay.  I had a hard time getting my heart rate up because of my lack of upper body strength.  Every time I tried to go hard, my arms would get tired.  Otherwise I felt fine.  I timed myself for a 100 yards somewhere in the middle of my workout.  I did a 1:20.  It is hard to believe that I used to swim 25 seconds faster than that during practice, and that was when we were doing 20 or 30 of those.  I did a set of 50's at the end that felt pretty good.  Tomorrow morning I will try to get out for a run.  I will need to figure out when I can get back on the bike.
