Day 65(December 12, 2014): 1500 m. Total 68.964 km.
Day 64 (December 11, 2014): 1550 m. Total 67.464 km.
Day 63 (December 10, 2014): 1550 m. Total 65.914 km.
Day 61 (December 8, 2014): 1250 m. Total 63.114 km.
If it is, indeed 308km from our old house 4519 Coronation Drive SW to Edmonton Mall...
How many km do I need to swim to get to Edmonton before June 30th. i.e.29 weeks ?
Let's call it 27 weeks because I know, I just know, I won't be swimming at all through the Xmas holiday... that is more for eating than swimming!
So I need to swim (308.000 - 63.114)/(29-2)...
and that = 9.07km
Now clearly I am swimming nowhere near that amount of km per week...
How far would I need to swim each day, of a 4-day swimming week in order to reach my goal?
9.07/4=2.268km
That's not going to happen.
And how many length of a 25m pool is that I ask.
2.268/.025 = 90lengths. (never never I will never manage that I only have 30 - 40 minutes to swim in beofer I have to get on the road to pick Al up at school.
What happens if I swim 5 times a week?
9.07/5=1.8km
1.8/25 = 72 lengths... well that is better but I can't swim 72 lengths in the 30-40 mins slot either....
Here is the maths for 6 swims a week for 27 weeks.
9.07/6=1.5km
1500/21=60lengths
CONCLUSION
In order to reach Edmonton before I leave Calgary I need to swim 6 times a week and swim 60 lengths each time I swim.... Oh dear, i feel a little faint!
