Not entirely disappointed

When I sat down to write this, I was confident that I had made major improvements from my first T-15 on October 3. Although I had better form and I felt much better, the results were not phenomenally better.

T-15 Record

Number of Yards: 475 (19 laps)
Elapsed Time: 14:56
T-15 cruise pace per 100 meters: 3:08

Ok, the cruise pace per 100 was down almost 1 minute--which is good, but I need 500 meters to get on the chart (3:00) and I felt certain that I had done twice as many laps as last time. The scary thing is that I very well may have---I find it hard to believe that I actually completed 16 laps back in October. This was tiring, but it felt relatively good. At moments I even had very good form, but overall, the drills mostly disintegrated as I got more and more tired. Ah well, ever onward.

Full workout:
Warmup: 3x50 SGBB/SGF
Workout: 19x25 Swun
Cool Down: 4x50 SGB/5&G

Total: 825 yards.

I was looking at the Galena Triathlon/Duathlon yesterday---not because I really think I can do one, but because I was thinking about the Duathlon and wanted to know whether I could be competitive in the Tri. I only want to go out if I think I can be top 10% which means I probably need to be able to do the 660-yard swim in about 10:00. This means that I need to cut my cruise time by more than HALF---to 1:30 by May and rack up 39 rather than 19 laps during the T15. Possible, sure. Hard to know if it is likely. I am tentatively planning to do the Duathlon which looks like it would be fun, relatively short distance runs---I suppose I will need to commit by March which should give me at 2-3 more T15s to use for baseline depending on how things go.
