Today I set two personal bests. First, I swam a mile in 1:08. My previous best time (that I’m aware of) was 1:12. I say “that I’m aware of” because I usually don’t keep track of when I get in the pool. Today, I looked at the clock right as I started.
Secondly, I did my longest swim ever today. 2200 yards. I wanted to break my previous record of 2000 yards, and usually I would do so by swimming only 100 yards more. But when I did my calculations before I swam, I saw that 2200 yards would bring me to 28,200 yards total, which happens to be 16 miles! In reality, it’s 16 miles + 40 yards. So I pushed it to get it.
In any case, I felt great after the swim. I still haven’t decided 100% if I’ll go swimming tomorrow or not. It will depend on when I get up and how I feel when I do. But right now I’m leaning toward going about 75%.
