14,650 yards in the pool this week

With the uncertainties around my foot we agreed with Kevin, my coach (www.tricoach.us), to hold off on running until the results and supplement my running with swimming. I ended up swimming 4 times in 5 days, and swam 4,250 yards in 74 minutes yesterday, the most I've ever done. I think that barely covers the 2.4 mile swim of the ironman, but it's very encouraging that I was able to do it.

I got to the pool around 5:45 and starting my swim at 5:53am. Below was my training:
 Warm-up: 1,000 yards:
300 freestyle - 100 kicks - 300 pull - 300 Free
Main set: 2,750 yards:
100 pace - 200 build - 300 pace -5 - 200 build - 100 pace - 50 Easy
 then 2 x [4x100 pace - 3x50 fastest interval - 2x100 pace -5 - 3x50 fastest interval]
Cool down: 500 freestyle with fins
