Swam a timed 800 at 15:44.  I have been in the pool only once a week and I have a hard time building on that.  I did 400 with fist gloves and 4x100 intervals.  1:49, 1:46, 1:47, 1:45.

My computer has crashed on me a bit so I have not updated resently.  We are rained out of softball today so I have a little more time.

I was wondering where you have been. I saw on another blog mention of a triathlon (Viking?) in June. Is that what's up next for you?

Great negative splits by the way.

I know I have asked this before, but I cannot remember. You swim meters or yards?

I have been busy and trying to keep motivated.

The Vikingman is a half iron man in june and I am not going that long. I have settled this year to work on the international distance 750 m swim, 20k bike and 10k run, so I just do my hour a day and call it good. The vikingman is cool since it is in Burley Id on the snake river the same place as my "A" race, the spudman.

I do not have another tri until July--that is one of the reasons I can take a day off. I would like to tri compete before then, but my June and May is ugly (scout camp, trip to texas and an all night relay.)

I swim meters, so I am doing much better than a year ago, but I am not as good as Jan.
