Charlton Lido yesterday evening.
All fc
4 x 100 warmup
500 drills (single arms, breathing, snorkel stuff)
8 x 200 css main set
300 warm down
3000 in all
I overestimated my CSS time for 100m - I thought it was 1:50 ish, turns out I can only knock out 2:00 / 2:05
As I tire, it looks as though my stroke suffers, getting shorter, choppier and less efficient, so the harder I try, the worse I get.
I could really feel the weakness at the end of each pull though, and struggled to complete the stroke with any strength.
I do like that pool though. A whole lane to myself for 70 minutes was blissful.
