Well that was a disaster. Second consecutive day Ottering. After ok warm up
800 choice
2x200 speedplay "at 800 pace" but sprinting for first 20m of 2nd and 4th 50m.
8x50 descending first 4 and building second 4.
Something else I forget...
Ended up in the slower of three distance lanes. Main set was 800m straight swim followed by 800 IM twice. Got lapped twice in the first 800m and moved down a lane to a slower sprint lane doing 100s. Started last and got caught by the first guy before I'd done a length because it was so crowded.
Coach asked someone to move down again... no-one volunteered so I obliged but realised I was too quick for what was now the slowest of all six lanes.
Ego bruised enough and shattered after last night anyway I cited over-training tiredness and called it a day after just under an hour.
Sucky sucky session.
