Parity of effort

How much work is it to cycle a mile? Run one? Swim one?

For me right now, ten miles on the bike are one mile on foot, and - here's the rub - that's about one length in the pool. So, since the lurgy-stricken Xeeny has kindly offered me his entry into Burhnam tri next (ohmyholyfuckinggods) week, I'll be working on my swim again. Today, for a benchmark, 500m in 50s, 21 minutes. Many pauses.

It makes sense to have a hack at the distance before doing it in open water, neh? A coach has been engaged for Monday.

Who am I and what did I do with the fat demigoth who normally wears this skin?
