Thursday Swim Class

Makeup class for Monday. So many familiar faces in Thursday class! Too busy saying hi(s) in the pool. Haha. Lane 1 tonight, still a decent speed.

8x 100m @ 2:45min per set (incl rest)
1- 2:22min
2- 2:30
3- 2:27
4- 2:25
5- 2:24
6- 2:29
7- 2:24

(Supposed to be 8 sets, but coach gave extra rest time (obviously people were dying... haha), so only had enough time for 7 sets.)

We did this "overtaking" drill/ game which was quite fun. Swam in pairs. The swimmer on the right gets a little headstart, then move left to cut the other swimmer. The swimmer on the left then swims out from behind and tries to overtake (instead of getting blocked). Repeat. It was like a scene from F1, with cars zig-zagging left-right to overtake or avoid being blocked. Almost. If we swam much faster! It was to simulate sea swim where swimmers all had no sense of direction and kept drifting into your path.

Then 4x 50m sprints (hardly sprinting anymore....)
1- 1:05 (call that a sprint???)
2- 1:09
3- 1:05
4- 1:21 (right.... point taken)

And the get-conned last sprint: 1:02.
Bad... none of the sprints were sub-1min!

Nonetheless, felt good and de-clogged after swim. Was feeling so miserable the entire week after PD. Age is catching up, faster than I can sprint....
