It was crazy in the pool today. I arrived at the sports centre, probably five minutes before they start letting people in, and there was already a queue of about a dozen people! By the time we got in the … Continue reading →

Tough one today. Another five seconds off the recovery time, so starting reps on 1’35s. Doubly tough because that interval means the hand positions for the starting times on the pool pace clock are jumping all over the place. Perhaps … Continue reading →
