Can i Get Any Worse ?

On a wet if somewhat warmer morning it was with alot of angst that i made my way down to the pool for the dreaded first swim of the week after missing Mondays session. I knew this was going to be a huge battle as i did a small warm up then the standard 5 x 300m efforts.
Started the first rep and tried to stay on a girls feet slightly ahead (managed this for 150m before getting dropped) touched the wall in 5.15 (1.45 per/100) and that was about as good as it was to get all morning. From there it was all downhill as my times got considerably slower - Seriously its the worst I've felt in the water for ages and every 100m felt like 100ks.
Times went - 5.15, 5.21, 5.29, 5.49, 5.58
Couldn't jump out  of the pool quick enough as i pondered 'Can i possibly get any worse' ?
Dear oh Dear, busted a gut to keep it under the 6 mins for the final rep - that is shocking, Now i am NO swim coach but i would say 2min per/100metrs would bet the equivalent to running 6min per/k in running terms, so that shows just how poor i really am :(
If there are any swim coaches out there or any one that can help please feel free to contact me if you really do need a challenge. Although you may need to have a lot of patience and be more then a swim coach - thinking you may need to be a bloody 'Miracle Worker' to be honest.
Anyway all done now and i can look forward to the day/weekend ahead starting this evening with drinks and presentation evening. Tomorrow maybe a different story as i have a big morning work wise, and that may be another struggle after a few jars - but we'll worry about that when it happens :)

Have a great weekend, and train well
Photos and all the evenings shenanigans will be up on the blog tomorrow
Cheers
