2.3K Swim

Over to the A.B.C Pool to start the week with a swim that saw fast guys Walker, Irish Kev (yes i know there is one Irishman that is) , Ronnie (Bigg's) and the ever improving Champ.
Pete called a tough set that was 200 warm up, 10 x 100, 4 x 50s, and 4 x 200s with a cool down for 2.3ks in total. Knew today was going to be tough with nobody around my pace so no chance of getting on anyone feet. Where is Todd when you need him, or even Enda for that matter?
Managed to get through the 100s but was basically gonseki from there onwards, held on for the 50s and decided i was only going to be good for 3 of the 200s.
Times were still pretty solid even if i was doing it tough, and that Walker never really gives you much of a break in between sets.
All up 2.3ks for the day - good thing i get there before the others as it gives me chance to do the extra that i miss within the set.

Good news from the weekend is that i managed to get a spot in next years 6ft Track run in the Mountains (not 100% sure its good news or not), Many thanks to Kanser who signed me up on Saturday morning whilst i was working way.  Just got to get out and do some serious training for it although i didn't get the start i was really looking for as i missed my Sunday long run yesterday after having a big party on the Saturday....ooops :)


Just seen good old Bradley Wiggins was voted the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. No complaints from me on that one, must have been a close vote though as we had a very good year all round and anyone from about 6 could have won and it wouldn't have surprised.

Even bigger news from home is that World Champs DARTS has begun at Alexandra Palace, with the Stoke boys among the hot contenders for the title, Taylor (The Power) , Lewis (Jackpot) and Andy Hamilton (the Hammer) can keep the title in the Potteries for another year, My big tip and danger man is Van Gerwen (Mighty Mike) the Dutchman so keep an eye out for him. I love it when the crowd goes off, i reckon you have to have about 10 pints before they even let you in for these nights.  Its got to be one of the best marketing sports events on the calender. It's on live on Fox 1 every morning from about 7am if you get the chance - check it out.

Cheers
