The sun returned to start another week that meant Crossy Lad could join me, and was also joined by my nemesis from yesterday Brendan Krone once again.
Got there earlier and knocked out 400 warm up before deciding to do a ‘Pyramid Set’ comprising of 1,2,3,4,3,2,1 efforts with Crossy leading the way. Pace felt OK for the first 3 reps before Brendan took charge of the 400m, followed by Crossy lad getting the call for the 2nd 300 metres as well.
Was starting to feel guilty so reluctantly fronted for the 200m and was working hard to touch out with a 3.11. We then all decided to see what was left in the tank for the final 100m blast and leaving 5 seconds apart Crossy nudged out a 1.24, Kroney quicker with a 1.21 and I was still able to come in under 1.30 that I was happy with.
Small cool down and I was good for another 2.1k for the day.
Times for the day: 1.31, 3.16, 4.55, 6.36, 4.55, 3.11, 1.29
Dare I say it, but I am actually enjoying the swimming these days.
Back into town tomorrow for the tough 2 x 20 minute efforts.
I notice some of the Aussie boys have gone early and started the banter on the Rugby, Brave Boys I say…… thought they may have waited until after the BIG game next week.
OK it wasn’t the result we were after on Saturday, but a good win over the ‘Convicts’ will see us through. Can’t help wonder if that Bonus point the Aussies dropped vs. Fiji may mean an early exit from the comp……. Let’s wait and see hey.
More importantly the Potters got back to winning ways in the Premier League (as predicted), wasn’t the greatest but we’ll take the points all the same. Very disappointed in new signing ‘The Shaq’ (Xherdan Shaqiri), not just in his play but his attitude, walking off and seemingly not giving two hoots about leaving the field with us a man down. Don’t start that caper young man or else you can bugger off and play for Newcastle, we don’t do that sort of thing in Stoke.
Villa next up, another 3 points in the bag as we continue up the table to that European Dream I’m tipping.
Cheers
