I tried for my speed record today by trying to get a mile under an hour, but when I saw I wasn’t going to make it I decided not to push it too far. I still think I probably broke my record to date, but I didn’t look immediately at the clock. I estimate I finished about 1:05, but since it’s an estimate I’ll not claim it yet.
In any case, yes that means I swam a mile today. 1800 yards more today gives me a total of 34,000 yards. 1,726,000 left to go. And tomorrow, assuming all goes according to plan (and I think James tells us something about such assumptions), I’ll hit the 20 mile mark after getting 1200 yards, because 35,200 is exactly 20 miles. Of course, I could always get another cramp in my leg, so it’s not written in stone. But I’m aiming for it (actually, I’m aiming to do 2000 yards, but if I get my 1200 I’ll be happy).
