One Hour Swimming

After my freak-out last night, I decided I had better ramp up my swimming. I went to the Aquatic Center and swam for a full hour. Based on my per lap time, I figure that I swam .42 miles at an average of 40 seconds per 25 ft lap. That would equate to between 85 and 95 minutes for .6 miles. With my 10K time in the 1:20 to 1:30 range, that leaves me less than 2 hours for the bike ride and transitions. I'm going to have to get my cycling speed up a lot, to an average of between 18 and 20mph, if I'm going to finish in 5 hours. OMG!
