07/02/2013: 1.5km swimming time trial

Monthly time trial event with Cardiff Triathletes.

I didn't manage to finish the whole 1.5km in the allotted 40 minutes last time so was hoping to better that this time and wasn't particularly fussed at the time itself, just merely wanted to finish.

I did try recording the laps on my garmin, but unfortunately the lap counter was full half way through so i only have up to lap 23 or so (25m pool). Have been toying with the idea of replacing my garmin with the 910xt (to get the auto swim lap feature), but its £350.00 for the triathlete pack and I want to replace my trainers first and then get a set of aerobars formy bike, so it'll just have to wait.

Managed to finish the 1.5km in 39:40 (including the rest periods of 4mins 50) so will hopefully be able to better this in a months time at the next one.
