Workout Summary: 5/17/2011

Today's swim was at Melbourne Riverview Park.  The first time, I swam two sets of 0.1 miles.  I was extremely tired and discouraged after each set.  Swimming in the river is much harder because your arms and legs don't get the short rest you get when turning around at the wall in the pool.  I took a short break and then swam a full 0.3 miles.  I felt much more confident.  I did have to stop a couple times and breast stroke for a little bit to catch my breath and rest.  I've been working on my sighting which is slowly improving.  I completed the 0.3 miles in 9 minutes 40 seconds.  My goal in the swim portion of the race is to not drown so I'm not too concerned about time, but I would be more than happy if I did that pace on race day.
