    I did my 1000 yd time trial today.  2:18 / 100 yds

     

    My first 50 yds is my fastest and then I have yet to get that again.  My fastest first 50 before today was 1:04.  Today I got 1:00 on the first 50 yds of the 1000 yd time trial.  Never got it again but I was pleased with that and the 100 yd average of 2:18.

      That tells you that you are starting off too hard.

      But that's ok for your time trial.  You got the number you needed (your TP).

      You can build your workouts based off of that number.

        Good deal.  Mentally noted and will recall at my next swim.  I will check my new swim instruction booklet I made and work on item number 2.

          Congrats. I'm not 100% sure you did your TT correctly, Iif you are able to tell that the first 50 was the fastest, unless you have a Garmin 910, you would have stopped at the wall after each 50 and checked the time. The TT should be a non-stop, even paced swim. you check the time before and after and calculate the difference. Like Eric said, you have a good start.
