You know that a 1k time trial is coming up when you rock up to the pool early and already find half the team in the water under the guidance of Super fish Elan, couldn’t believe it with Mikey in on the act as well as MrAce, The Champ and Brendan.
Set was 1 x 500, 5 x 200 and 5 x 100s, pace was good from the start once more , but I was feeling pretty strong from the get go today and despite holding back was still touching The Leech’s toes throughout. Pace picked up for the 200s all done around 3.10s and then the 100s were done even faster (1.30s). Think the Taffy Lad found the going tough and Mikey didn’t let the opportunity go to waste in telling him either for slowing down the lane at the 150 mark, He also got stuck into poor Leechy as well when he failed to swim to the wall at the end of each set …………… A wrap around the knuckles for the Leech and consider it being told…… and I thought he was going to cry at one point after the blast from our illustrious leader J
Once the 2k set was all done, Elan volunteered his services for an extra 10 x 50 metres helping with drills etc…. Couldn’t believe it then when EVERYONE stayed in the water, I managed a measly 2 more laps before cutting a forlorn figure out the pool whilst the rest of the lads tried to get those last minute tips in before next weeks T/T
Well pretty good weeks training , even if the times weren’t good in the running at least I managed to get through them all, Will be out in the morning to try to do 20ks as I know Sunday will be out the question as I have a big Australian Day BBQ Party on the Saturday.
No Premier matches this week either due to the 4th round of the F.A Cup (unless you support Newcastle or Aston Villa), Stoke have to travel to Chelsea
Timmy’s Tip – Hate to say it but Chelsea
Have a great long Australian Day weekend, throw a snag on the BBQ, and have a frothy or two …………..It would be UN Australian NOT TO J
Train well, stay safe
Cheers
