(Yet Another) Road Trip Day 12

The observant amongst you may have noticed that Day 11 is missing, this is quite simply because I finally succumbed to a full rest day and felt the benefit of it when I got back in this morning.

Looking at the session the 200's were pretty consistent more or less holding the same time despite the decreasing turn around time.

Swimming by yourself is pretty sole destroying and can lead to you being bored beyond belief so I needed to challenge myself by thinking about breathing patterns and strokes.

I settled into a hard but comfortable rhythm with a steady breathing pattern, breathing every 6 strokes for the first 50 (45 strokes) and the first 12 strokes of the second 50, (47 strokes) and then holding 47 strokes and breathing every 4 strokes for the last 100. Not particularly fast but smoother that I've been swimming. Not sure if I'm going to make this afternoon so I thought I'd publish this now!
