7:00am at Magic Island. Ran for 1h 15m from Magic Island, to and around Kapiolani Park, and back. 7miles? Then swam 1500m to the last lifeguard tower and back.
Oddly enough, the run sucked and the swim went well. I just don't get it. The run started off with a 15 minute slow warmup. Then we were to go 12 minutes at 5k race pace and 3 minutes easy. The warmup and first 12 minutes went well, but then things went downhill. I bonked. My legs were fine (although I have the slight beginnings of a shin splint in my right leg), but my energy level was zero. I just couldn't get it together. To my chagrin, I walked. Ugh.
With this as my start, I wasn't hopeful about the swim, but it went as well as I could have hoped. I focused on exhaling underwater, and that may have done the trick. I got out of the water, and no distended belly! Yay! Took 40 minutes.
