First markers

Last week I had to do my first marker tests, which was to go a specific distance and mark the time.  While I wasn't "racing" I went at a pace that would be significant to race day.


Run marker - 2 miles - 27:32 - It's pathetic I can't run a 12 min mile.  It goes to show how running outside is so much different then running on a treadmill because you have to propel yourself.  I truly dislike running simply because I'm not good at it.  Perhaps one day this will change. 

Swim marker - 1000 yds - 22:02 - I'm ok with this time.  Even if I don't get any better, it means I will make the swim cut-off with plenty of time to spare.  Even better, is that I know I will improve over the next 6 months.
