I wasn’t expecting too much today thanks to another night where I didn’t sleep as well as I might. Perhaps there’s something about going to the pool with limited expectations. I did have a 45 second 50m rep early on, … Continue reading →

Well, today was a tough one. I didn’t sleep well last night and struggled to find pace today, probably coming in at about three quarters of a second slower on the 50m reps and a little under half a second … Continue reading →
