Incubating eggs update, Day 12
I weighed the egg trays again today. The weights of the eggs this time are 1055g for the Suro incubator and 1062g for the Brinsea, giving losses of 91g and 101g or 7.9% and 8.7%. At this point I’d be … Continue reading
Swimming, 18th May 2017
A return, probably for the final time I think, to that same Swimfit session today: 12 lengths front crawl 8 lengths breaststroke 4 lengths backstroke 1 minute rest 2 x ( 2 lengths each of front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke ) … Continue reading
Goggle ramblings
Now I’m in the market for a new pair of goggles I’ve decided to have a think about what works and what doesn’t. The pair that have just broken (Speedo Aquapure) have been very good from a comfort point of … Continue reading
Swimming, 17th May 2017
Slightly late to the pool today and immediately I got in the water the nosepiece of my goggles broke. Fortunately I carry a few spare pairs including some for the children when they’re training, but it took me five minutes … Continue reading
Swimming, 16th May 2017
Today I returned to that old, old Swimfit session. Actually, it didn’t go that badly. I’m really not happy that my breaststroke is genuinely improving, but I did spend a fair bit of the session working on having my arms … Continue reading
Swimming, 15th May 2017
I really wasn’t looking forward to swimming today. On the way to the pool and even through the first 800m or so I felt very tired. It may have been down to spending much of the weekend two hours drive … Continue reading
Incubating eggs, Day 7
Having adjusted the incubators earlier in the week I’ve now weighed the eggs trays for a second time. The results for the Suro incubator give a loss of exactly 50g which is 4.4% of the original 1146g. The eggs in … Continue reading
Swimming, 12th May 2017
Easy day today after the exertions of yesterday and given that time was limited. Just swam 2,100m front crawl concentrating on technique, though I have to admit to feeling a little tired and my arms were objecting a little. I … Continue reading
Swimming, 11th May 2017
I had a “get in and swim front crawl” day today. And a worthwhile thing it was. I swam 2.5km faster than I’ve ever done before which makes me quite happy. I did another 500m swim down afterwards to make … Continue reading
Incubating eggs update update
Having measured the incubator temperatures with a thermometer I trust, the Suro 20 reads about 0.1C higher than the thermometer. The difference for the Brinsea was closer to 0.3C (also higher), so I’ve turned up the temperature on that a … Continue reading
