Swim Failure.... Again.

After a busy day yesterday i had the morning off today but was still up early to watch the Darts from back home in Tom's neck of the woods at the Metro Arena Newcastle - Jeez those Geordie Folk are not the brightest, booing a country man in favour of Barny Barneveld from Holland (whats that about ?)
The Two Stoke boys are still on fire though with both making the semis next week, and sure know how to throw the old Tungsten -
Timmy's Tip 'The Power' Phil Taylor to win it outright.


Anyway recovery day- but took myself down to the pool where i attempted a session POD gave to me last year.
500 mtres going every 2 mins
500 mtres going every 1.55
500 mtres going every 1.50
500 mtres going every 1.45

Well sounded good on paper, and the first two sets were OK  - but when it came to going again on the 1.50s i was struggling, Made the first 3 OK but hit the 4th in 1.46 and for the 5th 1.51. Decided then i had NO chance of achieving the 1.45s and at the risk of putting myself in the nearby Prince Alfred Hospital (R.P.A) i pulled the pin............ Another Swim Failure.
Still 1700 for the day and got my two swims in for the week that i am happy with, even if i am struggling.

Will have an easy trot in the morning for 10ks in and around the park before the long run on Sunday with Kanser, i have heard HuRTS #1 girl will be joining us (Laura) as well so that should help pass the time as i wont have to listen to Davie boy go on about how he's going to smash everyone next week.
There was talk of some drinks and parties going on Saturday evening - if i can stay away from those I'll be fine to make the long run.

Have a great weekend
Cheers
