Tri a Session for 4000m

Half-term pool problems solved by dropping in at Ryton Tri's swim session at Stanley this evening, that's my 6th swimming pool in the last 3 weeks. Although I'm not a member I took advantage of a personal connection to blag my way in.... (I'm married to their coach)

Normally I enjoy swimming with triathletes because when we do kick sets they make even my kick look good, however this evening I ended up in the teenage girls lane most of whom are ex swimmers so it was a bit of a struggle to keep up and I was massacred in the kick.

I've also realised that whilst my fitness may be improving I have very little speed. Which I think I'll start working on next month.  Overall it was a pretty tough work out.
