Hopeless Merging

Coach put me in Lane 3 tonight. Lanes 2 & 3 were doing the same drills. Gosh, I had a lot of chasing to do, seeing who the swimmers in the lanes were.

We did countless laps of pull drills. Then on to swim. I was the last swimmer in the lane. I gave up timing after a while because the distances were off since I did not end at the wall, or I had to merge along the way.

100m, 200m, x 3 sets
100, 200 x 4 sets
To me, they seemed like 300, 300, 300.... or simply 900 & 1,200m non-stop!

Then 12x 50m sprints. Due to the large number of swimmers, and my slow speed, the first swimmer set off even before I reached the end. Hence a few near-collisions because people were swimming towards me. Argh... super ego-bruising. Darn.
