managed to haul my exhausetd arse out of bed for saturday morning training as well as the usual thursday night this week. felt smug all weekend as a result. recomended. *stretches satisfyingly achey shoulders.
the main set on saturday involved doing reps of 100m of backstroke with fins on 1min 40 sec. it was supposed to be 5x100m sprints repeated 4 times. but because i was struggling to make the time i basically ended up "sprinting" the whole 2000m of main set without a breather. i went up two lanes to make space in the more crowded middle lanes but had to come back down as i was flagging quite badly. ouch.
have solved the problem of the chlorine sinus irritation by taking to wearing a noseclip. apart from looking incredibly sexy it's yet another thing to lose/carry/forget. weirdly one of the things i always liked about swimming is that you don't need anything to do it... i now find myself lugging a bag absolutely stuffed with: trunks, drag shorts, towel, goggles (+spares), fins, hand paddles, pull buoy, kick board, noseclips and water bottles... going to to have to get a kit bag to keep it all together now.
