Swim:slow and cut off times

Did 2nd week of pool swimming this week. Clocked up 98 lengths in 80 minutes.

Feel I need to get up to c110-120 in that time to feel comfortable re achieving cut off on the day: requirement is equivalent of 156 lengths in 150 minutes MAX (my aim will be to get within 120 minutes as my cycling is not that strong either!)

I was getting a lot slower the longer I swam which is worrying - if not surprising.

Will have a another go next week...

Full cut off times for Norseman:

1. Exit the water - 2 hours 30 minutes
2. Exit transition zone from bike to run in Austbygde (T2) - 12 hours
3. Exit cut off point at 32,5 kilometers, to finish at Gaustatoppen. The point is at the cross road to Gaustablikk Høyfjellshotell - 14 hours 30 minutes
4. Exit cut off point at 37,5 kilometers, to finish at Gaustatoppen - 15 hours 30 minutes
5. Exit cut off point at 32,5 kilometers, to finish at Gaustablikk Høyfjellshotell to get the white t-shirt -17 hours 30 minutes
