Well worth £100!!!
Got a free boob job as well.
Happy birthday Soup and enjoy swanning around with your beautiful new hair do!
Aw thanks Little Ninja.
Wow - look at that cake! Its fab.
Happy Birthday Soupy and nice cake!
I went to a coached session last night at a local pool, but the coach was absent. I was really fed up, especially as it was cancelled last week, so I’d been waiting 2 weeks in vain to get some feedback on my stroke. Sigh. After people started pouring into the pool and the lanes got choked, I decided to get out and go home before I had a meltdown and went swimming this morning before work. Back to the expensive swimming coach I think.
Just want to ask on here if this is a good idea: I’d like to set up a once a month meeting with the swimming coach and ask him to set me drills and endurance targets then check in with him a month later. So far we’ve been working on technique and I’m going to try to get a session with him this week for him to check my technique and ask him to set me some goals. Is this the best way to utilise a swimming coach’s skills or can people suggest a better structure for me?
Happy birthday Soupy!
I saw this and thought of Bala.....
FWIW - For what it's worth.
Off to tri club tonight.
Thanks your wishes everyone.
Happy Birthday Soupy!
Tri Club training tonight:
800m warmup - 2 x (200m with PB, breathing 2nd and 3rd, 200m catchups)
6 x 25m sprint/25m easy
4 x 100m fast
4 x 200m fast
4 x 400m (easy/fast/easy/fast)
200m to 400m cooldown.
Total 4100m to 4300m
LJS as usual swam extra, so he finished on 5200m. Wish I could swim half as fast as my man!
Ok, so there I was coming rowards the end of my swim last night when I suddenly started to get a foot cramp in my right foot. Pain in the arch, released as soon as it started with a quick rub whilst treading water but why has it started to happen?
Is there anything I can do to help prevent it
Thanks, Gaz
They are Parky, I hardly use my legs during the swim just a very sloooow kick.
Swimming for the length of time that the tri club swim is new to me and I had cramp for the first time.....so bad that one of the others stopped to offer to help me.
It went off but kept coming back.....I just put it down to swimming for so long.
Tonight is tri club night but I am debating whussing out. I fell off the bike on Sunday and it seems that today is the day that every limb is aching. Arms hurt from the jarring, thighs hurt and even my back hurts..........my legs look like the legs of a 10yr old.........black and blue from bruising!!!! Maybe just a curling up on the sofa and a glass of wine instead.
Poor you Saffers - it sounds like you fell badly. Maybe a gentle swim would ease things out but I imagine you wouldn't get a gentle swim at tri club.
Your second option sounds good to me. I'd add some chocolate truffles too.
You should go Saffers. Think of all the sympathy you will get when they see your bruises. Got to be worth it - especially if the sympathy comes from a nice, fit guy!
If not, red wine has excellent healing properties. I read it on the internet.
Ah yes. Chocolate. Well known for its anti inflammatory properties.
On a serious note, swimming tomorrow will definitely loosen you up, which will do you good.
