Also worth noting:
Tonight, in the Barton Pool, I set a new personal distance record. I swam 100 lengths of the pool, for a total of 2500 meters.[*] My usual workout is 1600 meters, or one mile, but tonight I felt like pushing for a bit extra. My previous distance record was about 2135 meters, set many years ago when I was an undergraduate.
It took me about 66 minutes to cover 100 lengths, meaning that I kept up my usual speed of one and a half lengths per minute. This corresponds to an aquatic speed of about 1.4 [non-nautical] miles per hour.
Interestingly, I didn't feel particularly tired when I had completed the challenge that I had set out for myself. Methinks I may increase my standard workout from 1600 meters to 2000 meters.
[*] I write this in full knowledge that this is in no way an impressive accomplishment on any absolute scale. Nor am I under and delusions that this may interest my dear readers. Nonetheless, I am recording it here, to refer back to later, if needed.
