I did the junior benchmark swim test this morning. It went well, considering it was a little cold, and i havn't started my really hard swim sets yet. The test involves a 200yd free from a dive, then a minute rest, and an 800yd free from a push. The "World Class" level which is the highest level time standard is 1:57 for the 200yd free and 8:16 for the 800. The next level down is "International class" which is 2:05 for 200yd free and 8:32 for 800. I went 1:59 for 200 and 8:34 for 800 this morning. I was shooting for 1:57 in the 200 but, i'm really happy with the 800 time! I think with a little more swim training i can go alot faster in both the 200 and the 800!
Now that my shin is alot better, we are going to start picking the run training back up. So i start with a little intensity for the run next week. I can't wait to do a long run, so i can do the whole loop of the clay trails again! (10 mile dirt road loop).
Sunday i have the junior benchmark bike test, so well see how that goes. Its a step test, and hopefully i can get up to 290-310 watts, which is world class!
