I participated in an indoor tri last weekend. You swim 30 minutes, bike 30 minutes, run 30 minutes - all indoor, of course since it was January. My goal was to swim 1 mile in 30 minutes. I was 50 yards short...just 50! Argh! I was really happy overall because I finished second in competitive female division. I was a mile shy of the overall winner and he does tris internationally. I ended up biking over 15 miles in 30 minutes. That sure doesn't seem right, that's 30 MPH average if I kept that up. I have another indoor tri at the U of MN coming up Feb 8 so I will TRY to get 1 mile swimming.
Today I felt like a rock at swimming. I couldn't move through the water at all. I had a 45 mile bike ride on Saturday on my trainer, which I'm certain is why I felt terrible today. I would swim and get to about 35 yard in the pool and thought I should have hit the wall already. That makes for a tough day when the laps seemer longer then they are.
I'm on the hunt for a full wetsuit since they are on sale now. I figure I will need it for IM. I currently have a sleeveless one. I thought about renting one but if I can get one on sale then I can use it this season at a few tris and maybe even do Bri Tri again in May and hopefully not freeze!

Well done in the indoor tri! 50 yards short (in that amount of time) is still quite the accomplishment. As always, I'm very proud of you.
