Friday Swim to end the week.

Warm day to end the week so headed back to the pool for the 3^rd swim of the week. Joined by Pete Walker, Angus, Kroney and girls Phoebe and Belinda so I knew it was going to be a fast set. Started with a 400m and just sat on Kroney’s feet the whole way and despite us  been dropped by the others was still coming in on a respectable 6.40. Another rep followed in the same vein before sets of 200m went up followed by some fast finishing 100s

Saw the former great triathlete from Ireland sneak in the next lane to us in Paul O’Doherty ( PLOD as he is known by many) making yet another return. Sad, as even without training he was still smoking us in the pool J

2ks done for the day , and making it a healthy 7 for the week.

 

Whinge of the Day, Goes to myself who threw the toys out the cot after the guys weren’t giving poor Brendan and I the proper recovery breaks in between 200s. Poor form from Walker and Angus who should know better, letting an ‘A Grade’ swimmer (in Belinda) come down and dictate the session and going ‘Red Top' all the time is just not on.  Despite coming in on 3.02 for one of the reps they were wanting to go again within 10 seconds.

Anyway made my feelings known and told them I’ll be doing my own stuff in future as will others if that malarkey continues, Like in the running we have different times and paces depending on your level and I feel that the swims should be no different. Point made,  - time to move on.

 

Good week training all up, will take it easy tomorrow before heading out for the long run on Sunday over the City to Surf course as the big day is only 3 weeks away now.

 

Have a good weekend

Train well

Stay safe

Cheers
