New swim distance PR

Nature didn't seem to want me to ride today, posting severe thunderstorm warnings pretty much all day long.  I probably could have made it out, but I was afraid of getting stuck in a hail and/or lightning storm.  I figured instead of missing out on training completely to go hit the pool.  When I initially got in, I had a goal of swimming 2 miles, with at least a mile of that continuous.  Well, as my swim progressed, I felt strong and decided to keep going.  I ended up swimming 5K (3.1 miles) with the last 1.1 miles continues and another stretch of 3/4 of a mile continuous.  The breaks between the other sections were pretty minimal.  I could have used a long ride, but this was a HUGE confidence builder for the race.  I'm ready for the swim and yesterday proved that I'm ready for the run.
