I swam well today!?

I am sorry we have been a little slow at posting lately. Training is getting more intense and we are just less than 1 month away from our big race. Yesterday was yet another swim day. I am not sure what kind of fluke yesterday was. I swam in the late afternoon, which is usually not a very good time for me energywise...I ate chicken and apple sausage right before my workout (late, late lunch)....all of which should lead up to a poor swim.

But, oddly enough my swim was the best ever! I swam and swam and swam. I did not get really tired and out of breath every length or two. I did 100s, up and back 4 lengths of the pool. The last time I kept accurate track of the amount of laps I did and time it took me a little over an 1 hour to swim 1500 yards (9/10 of a mile). Yesterday it took me almost 48 minutes. This flow never happens to me. I am the ultimate slow swimmer. I am always last in our training group. I can not understand what happened to me yesterday. The swim gods must have taken pity on me LOL.

I can only hope this fluke will continue.
