One man's odyssey from Average Joe to IronMan...and the World Championships in KONA in 2013

Follow your bliss...
I am really, really enjoying swimming. I have been most passionate and excited about getting in the pool (and hopefully soon, a lake). Much more than running and biking. So I am thinking about focusing a little more on this and not worrying about getting my runs/bikes up to the same level. I want to LIKE...nay, LOVE, what I am doing and from that passion I am hoping to expand it into those other 2 sports.
Today was a breakthrough...I pushed through (with relative ease) to the 2km mark...as follows:
4 x 100 m + 30 second rests
3 x 200 m + 60 second rests
3 x 300 m + 90 second rests
2 x 200 m + 60 second rests
My coach wants to me do more 'technique' but I am just focusing on endurance. Once I am swimming for 1km at a stretch (which equals 1000 meters / 25 meter lengths = 40 lengths)...I am going to re-focus on technique. But until then...I just want to SWIM!
