I had a good time at the pool today. I did a semi-time trial for the 800 meter distance, in that I went as fast as I could while doing the entire 800 meters (actually 822) and I took split times at every 6 laps or 137 meters. The splits are as follows:
Meter Split | Split Time | Overall Time |
137 | 2:36 | 2:36 |
274 | 2:49 | 5:25 |
411 | 2:50 | 8:15 |
548 | 2:52 | 11:07 |
685 | 2:57 | 14:04 |
822 | 2:58 | 17:02 |
How does this compare? Well, if I regress back to 800 meters from this workout, I get a time of 16:34 for 800 meters. My best recorded times, which are essentially my best times for triathlon swim are:
800 meters in 2002 at 21:27
400 meters in 2002 at 09:23, but would be a 18:46 if I doubled it
Tomorrow is the Scholar's Run 5k I'll let you know how it turned out!
