My swim training for Ironman Florida has been solely in the open water. I've been swimming in Lake Spivey across the street from my house. The distances have been roughly between 1 and 2 miles. My pace has remained about the same through the month at just slightly slower than 2:00 minutes per 100 yards.
This week I swam with my training partner Brenda Herrington. She's a task-master. She makes me get up early. During this training session I swam 1.7 miles in 1:00:08 with a pace of 2:01. A mile equates to 1760 yards. Brenda went a little farther, 1.79 miles, in the same amount of time. She's faster than me.
