This Hot weather brings just about everyone out – and more so for a swim , big crowd with all the guns flying, the good swimmers left miles behind whilst the rest of us plodders weren’t even in the same suburb today.
Hardman J.C (even with baggy shorts) led all day with Walker and Todd hanging on for dear life, I struggled big time today, not sure why? And battled just to hold on to Karim’s feet with Brendan sitting right behind me. Real struggle, and was seen on many occasions standing at the end of the pool BUT I wasn’t the only one as a good few either blowing up or needing the longer recovery including the ‘Salmon’ Karim, Wiseman, Brendan, Paulie Hannell and even Pete Walker had to get out at one point.
Still despite the poor effort it was still great to be in the water on such a hot day and happy to knock out around 1600m for the day.
The usual 2 x 100m team relay and I got paired with Sammy J, He swum a good first 100 in 1.17 but it won’t cut the mustard with the likes of J.C and Walker, Last week Karim took the title when he was paired with Champ, today he was lucky to get the talented Crossy Lad and with a combination like that no one was going to beat them.
Big weekend coming up with the Aussie Day holiday on the Monday , need to try to keep the long runs going on the Sunday as starting to feel the benefits. Although I may head to the BRAT triathlon instead, but heard it’s going to be 36 degrees and with a 10.30am start it could be getting very warm by run time.
No Premier footy this week but the F.A Cup 4th round is on with Stoke heading to Rochdale on Monday evening - never easy games these but we should still be strong enough to progress
Timmy’s tip - Rochdale 0 vs. Stoke 2
Have a great weekend, and throw an extra lamb cutlet on the BBQ to celebrate ‘Skippy Day’
Train well
Stay safe
Cheers
