Poor for me this week ... best time of 8:00
... very stiff/sore from yesterdays training
Swam 07.14 at lunchtime I THINK?
Cant really believe I knocked off 23 seconds, maybe there is a problem with the pool clock?
Can I request this time is not used as im intending to redo tomorrow, and will use my watch.
I think I will come and use your pool clock then Barlos !!
As thought I havent been able to get near to Stoke Mandeville pool this week .... damn Paralympics
There is an outside chance I may get there on Saturday but I shant lose sleep if I dont
Just smacked out a 7.09
Id not hardly believed the time yesterday and was so surprised when I looked at my watch. I think half the pool wondered what the idiot in lane 3 was doing gasping for air, breathing like a steam train and punching the water
Nice one BB!!
Good one Barlo
Next week everyone will have new base times
Apart from me!
why not you?
I haven't posted a 400m better than my first attempt..
Well youve got today to improve it! Its not a knitting club.
very poor from me last night 8:56
I seem to be getting slower
week 1 ...07:29
Ive discovered a secret to getting faster (dont tell anyone).
Im going to call it 'training'
missed todays pool session, so i'll have to do a 400m TT in OW tomorrow, this weeks gonna be a slow one
gobsmacked 7:45 for me today
just shows that if you actually train at this you get better

These new times are base on how good/bad you did last month
Sheet at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/62128064/Save.xlsx
Its going to be tough improving my 7.09 but this is just the motivation I need.
May not improve every month but if I can improve most months im going to be swimming sub 7.00 400m for the first time ever
Yeah cheers for setting this up Will. Sights are set on sub 6 by December!
Last weeks time was slower than my base time do I register it ?
08:14
Yep it goes on the sheet
Barlos, i'll pace you
6.20 for me last night. Think I have plateaued. Like Barlos said, I may leave it a month beforfe doing the TT again.
In the meantime lots of intervals and technique stuff for me. I say lots but I am only swimming once a week at the minute.
Been a bit shoddy with this (despite swimming more 400's than usual lately). I did a 7:50 and then a 7:37 last week. Is logging it here OK?
I'll shave-down this week and change-up from boardies to speedos. That should see me comfortably better than Muffin's 6:20. That said, I only want to get quick enough to chase-down Barlos on the bike leg at Tenby
.
That should be a good smack down then STIL !
No swimming for me last week so I shall come back this week fuly rested
STIL,
I hope youll have trouble chasing me down on the bike leg, not that youll have a bad ride but that ill do a darn site better than last year. I packed in at 70 miles having take nearly 7 hours.
That said though the course was tough, something wasnt right with me, I had nothing in the tank even from the start.
I will say treat the course with the respect it deserves and save some thing for the two loops of Saundersfoot (as if you dont know that hills going to be tough last time round).
