Time trial at Sunday evening Masters tonight. I've gotten to go to this 90 minute practice two weeks in a row and I have been very surprised that I am able to swim the 4000+ yards without much trouble, even though I never swim more than 3000ish yards and about an hour on my own. My arms are a little tired tonight, but I have been expecting to be totally exhausted and instead I am still up at 10:40pm.
Anyway, not much to report on that except that I managed a 15:01 on the time trial, even though we had a little bouncing around in our lane with positions. What I don't know is whether I will be able to be back for many of the future iterations, but this is one thing I can certainly do on my own, even if I would never manage the length of the whole practice if I were on my own, for weakness of mental toughness.
I have my second treatment tomorrow with Airrosti, a new sponsor of Ignite Endurance. It is injury treatment on this hip thing I have from carrying a baby on my hip for months and month last year and then being a triathlete. It has been achy and annoying over the last 12 months or so and I have seen my chiro a few times for it and other things, but I am focused on trying to make it go away now. After my first treatment last week, I noticed walking back to my car that I was moving better. I expected something, but not to realize that I had been kind of hobbling for months. More to come on that.
You rocked the time trial! It takes courage to do those in the off-season/basebuilding time but it's so helpful. Great that you did it for running too with your 10Ks. I'm glad you're feeling good through the 90min sessions--lanemates definitely helps!
