    Six miles this evening with Dorian, just before mile 3 I realized the little fart fell asleep. At mile 3 I stopped and checked, this is what I saw.

     What a tough life lol

       Is it really that bad though?    lol

       

      When you started swimming laps consecutively you had me beat. I could never swim more than a lap at a time without resting, so you're the man between the two of us!

          He looks like he shouldn't be in the stroller, he looks so big.

                It was work! Talk about beating up the water, it sounded like Mike Tyson on a punching bag when my ass came swimming down the lane. lol

                  Correct...pace per 100 yards.  That's how swim pace is measured for triathlon.

                   

                  ETA my 2:46 pace is probably the running equivalent of an 11:00 mile.

                   

                  Ahh okay - my swim pace equivalent is probably about 7:00 mile running Smile  Too bad the swim is such a tiny part of a triathlon. Are you just swimming on your own?  It might benefit you to join a masters swim team in your area.

                    For me it is not so much swimming as flailing. I have to warn the lifeguard in advance, so he doesn't try to jump in & save me from what looks like drowning.

                      Impressive! I could swim pretty quick but it was mostly me trying to keep from sinking, which was why I could never swim for laps.

                       

                      I had zero buoyancy, was completely unable to relax which exacerbated it, and had the flexibility of an oak tree FFS.

                        I actually enjoyed it, but once running came along that was the end of that!

                          He's just about outgrown it lol. But he still fits comfortably and I can strap him in no problem, but I don't think I could if he was wearing a coat.........

                            I am swimming on my own but I just started meeting with a coach once a week.  He said I'll be an average swimmer by the spring, which would be a huge improvement over where I am now.
