Dion’s Exercise and …

Good swim, pretty quiet and not too cold out of the water. Didn’t think I was going particularly fast but time was pretty good. Must have been the extra leg strength after a week of skiing.

Not sure if they’d topped the pool up or the recent rains had done a bit but the lane ropes were straining at the top and it was cold in. I guess because it wasn’t as cold out as last week that may have been the difference, but I was close to heading back inside !

Made a big effort to get my lap count right today, three weeks in a row would have been too much ! Otherwise, was a pretty good swim, felt reasonably smooth and fast !

Not sure what’s happened to my lap counting. I think I’m getting to distracted ! swim was hard work but I tried to keep up a reasonable pace, there was some joker swimming down the middle of the double lane which was giving me the shits ! Ended up passing him, and then had to cut across each lap as he lowed up and down the middle. Made me go a bit faster I guess. Anyway go tto what I thought should be 20 laps and it seemed rather fast, like last time, so I figured I’d better just do another 2 laps. Better pay attention properly next week !

Felt like a good swim and I actually thought I had lost count and was running short so I did 2 extra laps. The time seems way to fast though so if I don’t get close next time I must have really messed up my counting !

Another great swim, a bit slower then last week, all of .5 sec so I’d better try a bit harder next time !

Nothing like a swim in an outdoor pool in winter, no fighting for space, a whole double lane all to myself. Pity, it’s not always like that. Had a good swim, was feeling very unmotivated but got in the water and felt really good. ot sure, if it’s a fast time, for me, but it felt great.

I keep forgetting my heart rate monitor so I do the timing on my watch and it stays there until the next week when I finally rember to record it somewhere … Maybe I’ll post todays swim when I get home … Bet you all can’t wait!

Managed a fast time, must have been because the pool was so crowded, I figure I’m in for the same again tonight…

Boy, do I have a lot to upload / post… more coming soon !

Another windy swim day, made it rather freezing getting out to the pool after lolling around in the indoor pool the boys do their lessons in. It was even a bit chilly on the shoulders and arms for the first 10 laps or so. Felt good though, definitely feeling like I need to add another longer swim sometime in the week.
