After the warm ups, we did the 400 and then 200.  While I&#8217;m still going out too fast (as I am in run as well), the overall 400 time was 12:09.  The last timed 400 that I had was from Naperville (8\/2\/15) at 17:15.  <\/p>\n<p>And while there&#8217;s still much more work to be done, cutting 5+ minutes off in the pool is huge.
