Swimming in the Rain

The Big wet continued in Sydney overnight and into the morning and i had a swim set planned that i was not looking forward to, Still forced myself down to the Vic on the Park Pool  and decided on a 1k rep , and then 2 x 300s. Not doing anywhere near the amount of swimming i should be and this is reflected in my slow times - 18.35 for the k.......... Longest 18 minutes of my life i can tell you, it felt like about 2 hours in truth and almost jumped out the pool there and then. Managed to drag myself through the 300s as well but it wasn't pretty as i barely held 1.50s per 100 finishing in 5.30 and 5.38 - Shocking
2ks all up after warm up and cool down
In the afternoon went back to the park and copied the session i did on Saturday, 1 x 6k Woollarha Hill loop and then the 3k tempo flat.
26.35 for the 6ks 4.25 Pace (Saturday was 27.18)
11.06 for the 3k tempo 3.41 pace (Saturday was 11.36)
10ks all up , then did a further 6ks with a client easy pace

Another tough session tomorrow with the HuRTS boys, its the old 45 minute tempo (seems to come around every 2nd week this one). Will be made even tougher if those Irish Muppet's are around :)

Huge Congratulations to my mate Slim Sammy Agnew, who smashed his PB (and mine) over in London overnight with a great run to come home in 2.46:59 - Means i need to get the head down and go quicker sometime this year :) - Great effort mate.
Cheers
