Well, what a difference a day makes… I can’t honestly claim I was really feeling up for it today, but I just got in the pool, got on with my 50m reps and kept getting below my target time. Even … Continue reading →

I really didn’t know what to expect today. Recent performances have rarely been good and I’d spent the weekend doing fairly physical stuff around the property. As it happened, my 50m reps weren’t too bad. The lane was quite busy … Continue reading →

Ok, perhaps I posted too soon 🙁 Today wasn’t so good and I felt as though I was fighting for speed much of the time. I had several failures in both my 50m and 25m reps. No idea why it’s … Continue reading →

Today felt much improved over my recent swims, being mostly back on the pace I had before Christmas. Hopefully this bodes well for the next session and I can start to put this period of poor performance behind me.

Well, I wimped out yesterday as for some reason I was feeling very tired, but I couldn’t do that two days in a row. The pool was not at all warm today. I really hope they get the new boilers … Continue reading →

Well, today was a complete disaster. I was pushing as hard as I could, but over 50m I was about three seconds off the pace. I wonder if yesterday’s poor performance wasn’t all about the beer and perhaps I’m actually … Continue reading →

I didn’t get to swim on Sunday because bookings were closed down due to the pool boilers failing, and then on Monday I was helping out at a school swimming gala so didn’t have time to swim either, which meant … Continue reading →

I’ve commented before on how some days you feel that it’s going to be a good session and get out of the pool feeling as though you’ve failed to perform whereas others you’re really not into it but things turn … Continue reading →

Very quiet in the pool today. I was the only person booked into the fast lane. It’s always pleasant when there are no more than two swimmers in the lane, as we can take a lane line each rather than … Continue reading →

Good news! The pool was open again today. Although they weren’t sure it would be at first. Not so good news: apparently one of the heating boilers has died and the other failed yesterday, though fortunately only because of consumable … Continue reading →
