Did my 400m this morning 06:36 - can't actually believe its right after base of 08:06 it either must mean i drop off alot as the base was taken over 2k, or I beeped up with counting up to 16.

Cracking time.
I guess you would drop off a lot over 2k, it must be similar to running 400m vs running 2k but a differernt kind of fatigue.
I was pushing it this morning and would have struggled to have maintained pace for another 100 meters, really pushed hard over the last 50m.
I'm sure i had a counting problem, what makes it worse is i was only having to count to four and then press the button on my watch. Guess I'll know for sure when I do next weeks. If its way out can i delete this weeks and collect 0 points.
I did a few steady 400's today
May try for a quick one on Saturday or Monday
Monday will be next week
Ahh ok .. are we not going month to month?
Not that it matters too much!
Like a Power swim?
You can earn points each week ... max 1 counting time per week
I did 8:04 yesterday.
That was with a pull buoy.
Better
I have long thought that our OW loop was long, pool swim for me today 8:10 get in!
If we are going week to week then last weeks best was 6.48
First swim in over a week due to starting a new job but managed to get in both a pool and open water session today. Pool warm up 400m was 07min 52 sec. Just tried adding it to the spreadsheet but it is password protected. Can I ask whoever is the boss of the spreadsheet to add my week 1 time please?
Now I have managed not to make a tit of myself in week one of the new job, hope to be able to get out a couple of lunch times this week for some more efforts.
So next weeks effort is to make yourself look a tit at work then ?
Sheet updated
Good momentum all. Hopefully in the pool again this week after holiidays. Did lots of sea swimming and loved it
Am I odd for being faster in a pool?
Nope .. I most certainly am
Week 2 will be a breeze
Think my personal challenge is now to get under 8:00
I will be chuffed with a 1 second improvement.Can Meldy and I gave our own league for good pool swimmers but not so good in OW?
Note to self....dont try quite so hard in the first TT if the league table is based on improvement,
Muffin that was my problem with a personal bestest for a long time and no time to try and improve on it !
My next goal will be 6.30 I think, should be possible with a following wind
I thought you were powered by wind
*** WEEK 2 IS NOW OPEN ***

Week 2, bring it on
I actually swam a 7.29 in my tri yesterday (there were only 2 of us in the lane so no drafting advantage).
That said I do not want to count it as I want my times all set in my own pool after my 10 minute warm up so I can compare like for like performance. Will have another go this week.
You got your own pool? how flash is that
I have my own leisure centre
