BTW what GP mask did you get? My dive shop has an "Octomask" for $93 plus tax. Amazon has them cheaper but I hate buying stuff that I can't try on first..... the 7mm wetsuit was a real leap of faith, and the first one was still too big in spite of the sizing guide.

As of June 1, 2017, I am 50% of the way to my 100 mile goal for 2017. Slightly ahead of schedule.... but with a few weeks when I will be out of town scheduled, so I am still prolly slightly behind where I should be.
I see some extra catch-up swim days coming in October/November.

Vroom vroom!
I need to get back in the pool. My shoulder's ready.

I pretty much consistently swim 2950-3100 yards in an hour. There have not yet been any derivations beyond that out of... 30 times?

I asked what those were once and you never answered.

I did explain the intervals
Here is an example of ladders:
Pyramid
Similar to ladders, but larger: (like one giant ladder)
But not ladders or pyramids.Do 5 laps on 90s. Swim each lap as hard as you can, rest whatever amount of the 90s is left, repeat.
Here is an example of ladders:
So you would swim 25 yards, pause 5 seconds, then do 50 hard, pause 5 seconds, do 25 yards. pause 15 seconds, do next. (ADAPT TO HOW YOU FEEL. I do up to 60s on the time between each ladder 25-50-25 - 60s, etc)Lotsa Ladders! The middle distance is ALWAYS HARD and your choice of stroke, the outside distances are always free, moderate. :05 rest after each distance, :15 rest after each ladder.

RI = Rest interval. I tend to use longer (30-60s)50 free, 100 free, 200 free, 200 free, 100 free, 50 free, RI :20

Is the Garmin COnnect website down for you? All day I've gotten a message that says, "Looks Like Our Laces Came Undone
We will be back up and running in a few moments."

Got in the pool today. Mostly to help the kids to do starts.
I swam 4 laps... 25 yards at a time, sprints. Ranged from 16 to 18s, in pool starts, no breathing (I can't turn my head to the side without earplugs, cuz water gets in them). Arm's a little sore, surgeon says I have scar tissue to just fight through.
Felt good.

Every day that I swim I come home, sync up my swim watch, and check my lap averages, and stuff.
I think there's a little glitch in the overall stats, today:

I think I'll need to start adding a Saturday swim to the routine.

Hit a goal today, over an hour my avg 100yrd time was under 2:00. I hit 2:00 once a while back... today I made it hurt and did 1:56.
I thought I would also be under 12 strokes/avg per lap, but nope, still 12.
But my 41 SWOLF may be a PR. Don't pay much attention to that.

Did a 1:58 average 100 over an hour yesterday... Without really trying.
I don't do intervals or any real training to improve my stats, but I see steady improvement since my watch started tracking me.

Dreadful thought: I am not improving, my watch is just falling out of calibration steadily over time.
