Friday Swim.

Crossy Lad went all quiet on me and I suspect it was too cold for him but I ventured down to the pool all the same to end the week with a swim. Very small team once more with only Pete Walker and Champ around and after a good 600m warm up solo, Pete then called a set mainly of 100m efforts. Hard enough but made somewhat easier when Pete decided to swim his efforts at about 50% enabling both Champ and I to sit on his feet throughout therefore coming in on a reasonable time.
A few drills later and soon enough another 2ks was racked up.
Third straight week of some decent training now, and as always will need to make sure that Sunday long run gets done again, especially with only 2 weeks to go before the Gold Coast.

Footy fixtures came out in the week and its a tough old start for Stoke with the first 3 homes against the big boys Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea. Still the games you need to lock in (especially for a guaranteed 6 points) are Jan 1st and May 5th vs Newcastle and Crystal Palace respectively.
Memo to mate Sammy Aggers. Got you a ticket for September 30 so you can witness what a proper atmosphere is like with a visit to 'The Brit' after our Berlin Marathon tour. You wont be disappointed.

Have a great weekend.
Train well, stay safe.
Cheers
