That pool was Epsom.
Had another awful swim on Sunday at Wimbledon pool.... bloody awful awful pool, too shallow, too choppy, plus about 7 jets on the wall when you approach the shallow end, like being stuck in a ripe tide ! Plus kept hitting my toe on a jet hole when tumbling, which hurt.
Last night; Try to keep to times plus fast turns.....
1k free @ 17.30 (turned out to be 15.19 !!! must have mis-counted !)
1k free @ 17.40 (turned out at 18.19 ! bloody awful ! )
500m @ 8.55 (Did 9.16 ! WTF !?... I give up )
500m swimdown.... cry... throw stopwatch at a lifeguard... not really )
The 1st k my arms and shoulders were full of lactic acid... need to loosen first, I think holding a 3 year old up to see the marathon on sunday wasnt a great idea)
So basically, looking like I wont beat my swimathon time of last year.
:(
