Ahhhh so darn close.  Did 44 laps (one mile) in 44:39.  Goal was 44 minutes.  Still not non-stop as I am doing 20 then some backstroke recovery lengths.  But it's improvement.  Hoping to run tomorrow. 

Redman Triathlon is Sept. 21st - That's probably not possible. (but perhaps the 1/2 Ironman length)
Swim: 1.2 mile, Bike: 56 miles, Run: 13.1 miles   That would be pushing it.

Tulsa Run is Oct 26th. - That's doable.
