First straight swim

Yesterday was my first non stop, straight swim. Wasn't sure how it would be. I am used to doing swim team-like workouts with sets and intervals, usually 100's (yards), 200's, sometimes 500's. So the 2500 non stop swim was a new experience. I have to say it went well, and I'm not that wiped out today. To mix it up I counted by 500 yds, doing 400 yard of freestyle then 100 yds of breaststroke. I seemed to hold about 8 min. per 500. Felt great. Will be more interesting with sand and fish and coral to look at.
