Today was the most amazing swim training we’ve ever had!!! Ben decided to try for the Olympic Triathlon instead, which means that we basically had to double the intensity and distance of all our training. I’m going to try to do it with him because it will only help me too. On Tuesday, we did 22 laps straight (the furthest so far) but today, we went 60!!!! Which is the length of his Olympic Tri, 1500meters. We did 30 and then we said, let’s do 24 more. But once we got to 22, Ben said, “Heck, let’s do 8 more!” So we did. We both felt SO good. After about the first 20 laps, the rest felt so good, like we were machines and in the right groove, pace, breathing, everything just went perfectly. We feel so great!! We should have been pushing past those first hard 20 laps a while ago...oh well. 2 more weeks for me! AH! Heck, I should do the Olympic too!! No….I could never do the 10k run at the end. No way. I’ll stick to the Sprint for now…
