What a hardcore group of fish we were. The skies opened up in the late afternoon, and slowed to a steady drizzle in the evening. And of course, our group of diligent fish was in the pool, splashing our way through the night. The light drizzle became steadier and heavier. In the far far away distance, we spied lightning. But no, there was no thunder nor lightning threats where we were. And so the good 'ole Coach continued with what he did best - .... And Go! Each time I finished a lap, I wondered if class would be halted. No, he donned his yellow rain jacket and went on.
Drills - some combination of bilateral swims, and 10 sets of 4-pulls-1-breath (or was it 6-pulls). No matter, giddying.
Swim - 7x 200m @ 5min
4:55, 4:55, 5:02, 4:59, 5:09, 5:10, ... 5:10 (?) almost non-stop
Easy 2x 50m - ??
Sprint - 10x 50m, almost following Lane 4's cue. Non-stop, not even reaching the end of the lane, and the first swimmer had started on the next lap, and it was almost a messy collision. With an equally messy time recording:
1:06, 1:08, 1:10, 1:12, 1:12, 1:21, 1:16, 1:20, 1:05, 1:03
The drizzle continued throughout the night.
