Pretty funny that you picked two 15 minute amraps for me right before this open workout was announced.  You always have an uncanny since of what is coming it seems.  At least I had a good since of what 15 minutes would feel like.  Admittedly a tad tired in the legs starting this one out but not bad.  It was really a matter of trying to keep giving full effort and not pace too much.  I did all the WBs unbroken which was a goal of mine.  I had to do it outside because my WB target is outside and it was cold!  Couldn't feel my fingers the whole time which made catching the WB a bit weird.  Nothing too dramatic to say, just felt like exercise.  Swim felt great after.  I figured out that if I hold my breath in my lungs and don't slowly let it out I can make it much farther without a breath.  I suppose I should have known that but I still find the habit of exhaling while swimming hard to break.  I chose to swim with the paddles and no legs to try and mimic paddling on the surfboard and work on shoulder strength in that metric since my arms got tired paddling last time I was out in the ocean.  Seemed close to the same feeling and 300m was about where my right shoulder especially was getting tired.  Thanks!
