Long swim

Having missed Saturday's time trial swim (due to red wine overindulgence on Friday - oops), I thought I would do it today rather than go back into efforts and a mixed set.

200m warm up and cool down
1700m main set

Total time for 1700m 37:40
Average/25m 33 secs

100m splits (ish - sometimes I forget to hit "lap" until a few seconds into the next 100m):
2:05, 2:13, 2:11, 2:08,
2:08, 2:09, 2:11, 2:13,
2:14, 2:12, 2:12, 2:19,
2:16, 2:13, 2:17, 2:16,
2:15

The times seem a bit slow, even though I had the lane mostly to myself. Maybe I could have pushed harder. I had a few lengths where I could really feel the power, my breathing and kick were both strong and consistent, but it just didn't show on the watch.
