Back in the Pool

Returned for the first time of the year to the pool and was soon met with the biggest crowd ever for a HuRTS swim set, all the regular faces on show as well as a nice return of Terrence Bell, Mermaid, Lady Laura, Elle, Biggsy and Sonya. That big the group had to split into two groups (basically a fast and slow) and I knew my place today so I joined the Leech, Angus, Todd, Brendan, Taffy, Cialis and The Champ in the slightly slower paced lane. With Angus & Todd pretty much doing the bulk of the work from the front it certainly wasn’t a slow pace and I was happy just to sit on the Leech’s toes for the duration with Taffy pushing me along tapping on mine whenever I was slowing down. As one point we even had an Olympian swimmer in our lane – One Geoff Huegill, and poor Brendan embarrassed himself and nearly peed himself when he got all star struck and excitable when Geoff touched his toes (glad it was all he touched)
Happy to be able to hold the pace pretty much for the whole session and the times were as follows
1 x 400     6.30
2 x 300     4.49, 4.50
3 x 200     3.15, 3.17, 3.15
4 x 100     1.32, 1.33, 1.36, 1.35

Need to get back into the swimming if I’m to do a decent tri by the end of the summer, and not let it slip too much.

Will try to get out for my first long run post Xmas sometime over the weekend \

Another big weekend in the footy with my loyalties spit down the middle when home club Stoke take on supported team over the years Liverpool at the Brit Stadium. Might need to sit on the fence with this one.
The Timmy’s’ Tip of the week is Stoke 1 vs. Liverpool 1

Don’t normally put jokes up but seeing as its Friday, thought this one might amuse some for a Friday Funny that I received this week/


Have a great weekend
Train Safe
Cheers
