update

Not so much time to myself now, in the verge of DIY both weekend days now! But, I can still squeeze some form of training in, especially once these lighter nights start to kick in at the end of March - after work bike rides!

Tue 24th Feb
Swim session!Pretty good going, felt fairly strong, but there were a few too many people in the pool, have to re-consider the timing I think!
Managed 1K in 22mins 33secs (a whole 7 seconds slower than before!) Starting to think I'm hitting a plateau! There are quite a few factors that need addressing though - need to get my turn better / quicker, need to chill out and keep the rythym going too and also still trying to engage the use of my legs properly! :lol:Pulling a lot with my arms at the moment, which towards the end you can really feel in the triceps and shoulders.
Split times per 10 lengths: 6:26 / 6:37 / 6:51 + 2:40.

Friday 27th Feb
Didn't do weights last night since me and the missus went rocking in true stylie to Metallica! Got a few too many beers down the neck too! Well, with having today off and knowing I was going to go for a swim regardless of hangover, I was happy to stuff myself with carbonara and dessert too!
So, got to the pool about 3pm, almost totally empty! 1 bloke and his two kids! Real happy that no-one could possibly get in my way! Well, even with the mild hangover in the afternoon, I managed the fastest yet at 22mins 20 seconds! (6:12 / 6:42 / 6:49 + 2:37). This certainly gives me hope to get under the 22 min barrier for now, as I did rest a little more than usual at some points as I was just knackered!

The pool got a little busier towards 4pm, but definitely a good time to go for a swim!
I also did a lot more afterwards compared to usual, spent about 90 minutes in there in total, and also did at least 4 lengths swimming with clenched fists - which is pretty weird as well as hard!
Still, that was it until Monday as Rugby was on and I thought I deserved a beer on Saturday which actually only involved rum, and between me and the missus did the entire bottle in, plus 1/2 a bottle of red too!

Sunday was a day of DIY again and also involved a trip to the pub for tea and 2 pints!
