Nearly as exciting as watching someone swim laps

ERRATIC!

4 x 200 (100 crawl, 50 backstroke, 50 breaststroke kick)
100m relaxed
=======
900 m (approx. 25 minutes)

Sort of an odd day. I was up since 5:15 am and have been a bit tired all day. When I arrived for my swim the lane traffic was a bit erratic, so I ended up choosing a lane with some slow folks. I decided to take it easy and not use my stopwatch, as I knew that that would cause me to try to swim faster than by body could really handle.

All in all an OK swim

WHEEE!

3 x 150m (100 crawl, 50 backstroke)
1 x 50 m breaststroke
=======
500 m (11:27.17 minutes - split)
4 x 25 m (crawl: technique, sprint, technique, sprint)
100 m (IM)
==========
700m (18:21:62)

The first 500 went really well, so I decided to swim a bit more. Although I could certainly have swum even more, I decided to stop at 700m. My cardiovascular fitness has really improved. I think it is due to my commute to work that besides the train ride has a 7 minute bike ride plus an 18 minute brisk walk each way.

Remembered the moisturizer today! :-)
