I know that is such a cliché, but I honestly believe it now! After last Thursday's difficult speed swim session, I have seen a definite improvement in my swim. Last Friday's swim was a long swim session, the main set was 1500 yards. That is 30 laps in the pool. The last few months, my lap times have been averaging just over a minute a lap. I was a little apprehensive for my long swim, thinking my arms would be tired from the difficult swim the day before. Although, after I started my long swim, I noticed my lap times were below a minute, lap after lap after lap! So about a quarter of the way into my swim, I made a goal for myself to finish under 30 minutes. And how did I do? Total time: 29 min 45 sec! Yay!

Sunday 7/31 workout:
Bike - 2 hour long ride
Run - 30 min -- this run was extremely difficult, by the time I ran, it was 9:30 am and 100 degrees. I had to walk quite a bit. Hopefully as I do more of these transition runs after my bike rides, they will get better.

This swim was an amazing workout. My first 500 swim (10 laps) was 9:33! I think this is the quickest 500 I've ever done! And even my last 500 swim, after the kick and pull session, I finished in 9:45!
Tuesday 8/2 workout:
Bike - 1 hour ride (small chain ring) -- Used my new trainer for this ride! I got a great set up in front of my TV, just put on the Bachelorette Finale from last night and I was on may way! Great way to get a ride in!
