Answer: What is the distance in yards I swam continuously for the first time this morning?
You are correct.
Took 23:51 but no stopping. Tri distance is 880, so being strong through at least 1K is a must.

Fighting a cold...
So I took a rest day yesterday. This morning, I got up and rode for 40 min (avg HR 139)on the mountain bike (hoping to do the road bike tires soon) including a trip up Trancas Canyon up to La Gloria. Someday I will make it to the top. And then I ran for 22 min (avg HR 157). I ran in the neighborhood, including up some side streets. Did a bit of climbing. Was a good workout. Tomorrow is Masters Swim (shooting to do 600-700 straight, race is 880).
Oh and logged into this today...

Masters Swim today
Yeah for me! Caught up with my exercise log and I had a heck of a swim this morning.
I did:
500 yd warm up free
4x50 @ 1:04-1:10
100 - streamlines
100 - Skates
4 x 50 @ :59 - :1:04
3 sets of 100 + 75 + 50 + 25
:)
1850 total yards (the length of the pool 74 times) is certainly a personal best for me :) :) :)
(ooh and possibly an exciting development about my training story...more to come)

Two cases of pink eye and a trip to vegas = ?
A blogger behind! Yikes - coming up on two weeks of inactive posting. Shame on me!
Be not dismayed, I am not out of the training loop. I just have not sat still long enough to track it all. So this post will be a quick rundown of my training gap and a reestablishment of the pattern of blogging. So, strap in - here is a breakdown of my calendar:
July 9: Masters Swim class for 35 min total of swimming
July 10: Rest
July 11: 25 min of running (again straight through - see July 8 post below)
26 min of strength and core training
July 12: Master's swim for 40 min (followed by a reallllllly long day at church supervising a rental group, then a BBQ for VBS and then a campout at church before worship the next morning)
July 13: Church in morning (went well, kids were fantastic) and then off to Las Vegas in afternoon
July 14: Much goofing ensued, training not-so-much
July 15: 30 min of lap swimming in pool (avg HR 130)
43.5 min of running straight (in Vegas on streets slow decent out, slow climb back :) but max HR of 177, Avg of 160).
July 16: Caught early flight home to deal with the pink eye outbreak in our home - Jackson home 2 days, Maddie home one.
Hit gym at night 40 min of Elliptical work Avg HR 139
July 17: 45 min run on beach Avg HR 148
15 min of stretch and core work
July 18: 45 min of stationary bike (still need to replace tire... :( ) Avg HR 139
26 min on AMT Avg HR 154
July 19: Masters Swim 40 min
July 20: REST
July 21: Paddleboard...performance improving, inner ear and balance issues are not - had a severe headache afterward and vomited all over PCH - WOOHOO!
July 22: 31 min run on beach Avg HR 160
26 min strength training Avg HR 150 (heavier weights - mostly on balance ball)
