Swim Time in 43 Degree Heat.


Hottest day in ages as temps hit 40 degrees plus, and thought the sun had muddled my brain when I rocked up to find Hoey, Mikey and ......Barts at the A.B.C Pool? Surely it can’t be right. Fair play to Hoey and Mikey for having a go although poor Barts looked well lost and wouldn’t venture any further away from the kids pool.

Good team out with Walker, Champagne, Crossy Lad, The two Brendan’s, Todd, Angus and a couple of others.

Main set was 1 x300, and 8 x 200s

Some pretty quick guys today and after a 4.37 first 300, the 200s were only going to get quicker.  Averaged between 3.00 and 3.05 although did sit a couple out. Happy to be able to sit with Angus on the 8th though and stop the clock with perhaps my fastest ever in 2.54

After a heavy night the previous it was just what I needed to clear the head.

Over 2ks all up for the day.

 

The boys are swimming well and already ‘Yum Cha’ Wong let the cat out the bag when he stated at the HuRTS preso that he has been swimming the house down doing all these extra sessions and will aim for a sub 16 minute 1k T/T next Friday ........... Mmmmm, this is the lad that I can normally beat and usually comes in around the 17 mark, so I may even try to sit with him J

 

Another big weekend coming up, Stoke head down to the South Coast to take on rivals Southampton who are playing very well.  Tough game and I fear we could get turned over.

Sad to say I’m going Southampton 1 vs. Stoke 0

 

Second social night of the week tonight so it looks like the Sunday run could be gone again – oh dear, but will try to get back out throughout the week.

 

A few more photos from Thursdays presentation.

 

Winners, Enda, Hoey, Crossy Lad and Skippy.

The Swim team didn't miss out either with Emma, Coach Walker, 'Yum Cha' Brendan, 'Cialis' C.Ellis and Phil ' The Sculpture' Dove.
