busy as ever lately.. and realising its less than two weeks to the race!
on monday i went for a swim. they had some problem with their filter & chlorine balance so the pool was dead murky, it was quite early evening still so pretty busy.
gave me an opportunity to practice my sighting though, lifting the head every few strokes to check position. Even then i still found myself charging up to some slower breast-strokers before i knew it!
And to make things worse when the aqua-aerobics class started the swimming lanes were invaded by a huge shoal of people displaced from the other bit of the pool. To the extent at one point i looked up to see 3 people ahead of me in the lane, i was fed up and walked behind them before switching to the other slightly quieter lane to finish off my session.
Times looked slower 'cos of the murkyness and all the people:
400m - 8:56
750m - 8:55 - 17:52
1150m - 8:58 - 26:50
1500m - 8:15 - 35:06
400m, 750m and 1500m being the swim distances of the triathlons i plan on doing this year.
[todays swim: 1500m]
