yo! how's it going swimmers? mikec, i used to get regular lane rage (threw my goggles at somebody once). as a rule i stay out of public sessions these days, especially during peak times.
haven't seen any of you lot down the cally masters training yet? actually i quite like it that way. it's just me and my crew of middle class, middle aged ladies keeping it real in lane three. i won't be about tomorrow but honestly, i highly reccomend it. it's a very friendly, relaxed club and I intend to keep going despite having moved south. sessions are 90 minutes coached 8pm thursday, 8 am saturday and 4pm sunday. costs £5.20 or £1 with an iz card. come!
anyway, a couple of things. just signed up to do this again. www.swimathon.org had previously said i wouln'd bother but i thought it'd be churlish not to really. you don't have to do the full 5k. could even enter a lfgss relay team? Just a thought.
lastly, and i'm sure i've asked this before. i really need a decent pool within striking distance of the southbank (SE1) to use at lunch time. i can't get to london fields lido before dark and getting up to islington or cally for the after work rush seems perverse as it involves waiting for the pool to open up at it's busiest time then heading off in the wrong direction for home to experience lane rage. there must be something passable i can get to from here for a good 45 minute swim at lunchtime? is oasis really the only option?
