Training Session Details

This page shows the detail of an individual workout session. All statistics are for breaststroke. I have chosen to swim breaststroke across the channel because that is my strongest stroke and the crossing record is obtainable.

Comments: Water temp averaged 64 degrees but conditions were a little rough. The wind got up to 30 mph after the 6th mile. The lake was running 2.5 to 3' swells with some white caps so I was able to practice "ocean like" conditions. I tried mixing sun screen in with the Vaseline but it caused the Vaseline to clump up and slough off. That caused me to loose a lot of my thermal protection. I started to get hypothermia at around 9.5 hours so headed to shore. The 14 mile distance is an educated guess based on time in water and distance covered before the storm began. GPS did not work because I swam-in-place for several hours.

Individual mile metrics are not accurately captured for open water swims.
