Every couple of years I have a moment where I think, "Damn, did I just do that?" I finished my test 5K in 1 hour, 44 minutes, and 25.5 seconds. I just wanted to make under 2 hours. For those of you who are extremely curious, here is the breakdown in workout form.
Before Picture-
1 x 1000 Free-:30 rest to defog goggles and drink-
1 x 100 (50 Back - 50 Breast)
1 x 900 Free
-:30 rest to defog goggles and drink and complain that my goggle are too tight-
1 x 100 (50 Back - 50 Breast)
1 x 400 Free
-:45 sec rest to adjust the strap on my goggles because they were digging a hole into the bridge of my nose.-
1 x 500 Free-:30 rest to defog goggles and drink and make sure my lap count was right.-
1 x 100 (50 Back - 50 Breast)
1 x 400 Free

1 x 500 Free

For about twelve hours I was prouder of myself than I perhaps have ever been in my life. Then I realized that I have to spend the next nine weeks training to do it again and faster. D'oh!
