I missed out on swimming yesterday as we had an engineer visiting to fix our phone lines (which includes our ADSL internet connection). Largely a waste of time, it would appear, as he left us in no better a situation than when he arrived 🙁
So today was my first day of my new 50m set, having knocked five seconds off the interval time I had previously been using. It was really tough. Not entirely sure why. I felt as though I was struggling for energy as much as anything. I have started to wonder if I perhaps don’t have sufficient easily-accessible energy floating around when I swim immediately after lunch. Perhaps a mid-morning snack might be worth considering. I’m guessing though. Perhaps I was just tired.
Anyhow, after a poor 50m set the 25m set wasn’t really much of an improvement, so I left the pool feeling quite disappointed. Hopefully it will be better on Sunday.
