Post-Aviva Swim Class

The class was smaller tonight, some of the Aviva racers took a break. Coach raced too, but he was standing outside the pool and did not need to swim. But it was still long.

Drills - 4 pulls 1 breath x 4 laps; 6 pulls 1 breath x 4 laps

Swim -
6x 50m easy: 1:17min, 1:15, 1:14, 1:13, 1:13, 1:13

5x 300m @ 9min (! we had not swum that kind of distance in a long while, but of course Coach shortened the time): 7:27min, 7:32, 7:56, 8:01, 7:36

2x 50m easy: 1:11min, 1:17

8x 50m hard @ 1:15 (Oh my! That was about my average, how to swim fast & recover? Or maybe that was the intention, no recovery...): 1:08min, 1:14, 1:14, 1:15, 1:14, 1:16, 1:15, 1:13
As evidenced by the timings, totally no rest, touch and go!

Coach told SL and I to go for extra Friday remedial classes. Ahhh.... for stroke correction. Haha, I guess I had a long way to go to figure out where my inefficiencies are. Looking forward to remedial. :)

Old airport road hawker centre was closed tonight, so we went to a nearby Punggol nasi lemak branch instead. Sort of unhealthy, but the rice was indeed moist and nice. Sinful!
