Breakthroughs in the aquatic realm
I'm in my third week of swimming with Riptide and I'm already seeing some perks of swimming 25,000+ yds/week, aside from scaly skin and sweet goggle lines. Each Thursday we do a set of all-out 100s called "team goals" (sorry, hope I'm not giving away any big training secrets by writing this).
Week one: 1:12, 1:10, 1:12, 1:12, 1:12, 1:12
1:10 was a PR and I was pumped. I'd been stuck around 1:13 all summer.
Week two: 1:10, 1:10, 1:10, 1:10, 1:09, 1:08
I kept coming so close to breaking the 1:10 barrier, then finally I was through!
Week three (today): 1:09, 1:09, 1:10, 1:07
All logic tells me that I should expect to take a second off each week and then by New Years I'll be down to around :49. Sounds reasonable. I'm totally joking. When the plateau hits it won't be unexpected. That said, I'm enjoying the string of PRs while it lasts.
