Totally Swim Free Week

Finally I managed to stop the rot and after a somewhat frantic and completely swim free 11 days I managed to hit the session at Gateshead Leisure Centre tonight.

The reasons for the lack of aquatic endeavour range from, a cancelled session, to an ASA masters committee meeting, and simple slothfullness.

There was only 5 of us turned up and the Fairy Snow Baby was in a mean mood as he set this little tester set. I rather stupidly decided that I would try and hang on to the guys pace they were swimming the repeats on 50 seconds per 50. The most rest I had was about 12 seconds and it just deteriorated throughout the set. The last 3 repeats were pretty much a straight swim as my heart rate shows.

The 4 x 50's kick were meant to be 12.5m underwater and 12.5 kick, SynchroDad, and Matt the Cash and me swam the underwater bit and then drilled the rest of the repeat, much to FSB's annoyance cos he then made us all do it again because it was meant to be kick!!! I felt like a 10 year old, he'll have us standing in the corner next time we lash up!
