Flabby thighs and their uses...69,200 metres down

There was something vaguely familiar about Cookie's session at Consett this evening, as it had a similar structure to last weeks I really enjoyed it though. Queenie Reed was in great form but struggling to hang on to her pull buoy, I raised a smile when I pointed out that having flabby thighs and a large a**e came in useful sometimes.

As you may have guessed from my sessions I love swimming pull I'm probably faster pulling then straight swimming. Despite the creeping fatigue I coped much better with the 200's and gradually worked my way to the front of the lane.

So there I was leading and holding around 3 mins for the first 7 or 8 and then I crashed and burned pretty badly, which coincided with a spectacular choke when I must have swallowed about a gallon of water as you can see from the print out.


Which translated into the following swimming.
