Swimming.......At the Wrong Pool.

Was dreading this swim since last Friday and when i received an email from Peter Walker to join them at lunchtime today, i jumped at it despite knowing i wasn't even in the same suburb times wise but thought any little bit would help me get through it. Rolled up very early to try to get 500m done before the team arrived as i knew i would in turn miss certain reps out. Knocked over one k before i realised that they were not coming and was all set just to labour for the next set when a very lovely 6ft2,eyes are blue, lady joined me in the lane.............Now i don't want to get to carried away here, but the next 1000 mtres were perhaps the easiest and most pleasurable  i have done in a long time, felt effortless, and was holding 1.49s per/100m
Maybe that's where i am going wrong swimming with buffoons and clowns that make up the HuRTS swim team when i should relax and smile when i swim :)
2ks done for the day, and i may even venture back to this pool again, by the way found out once i got home that Pete Walker and company were the other side of town at the Ian Thorpe Pool instead.....there lose :)

Results are up from the Duathlon yesterday, and it was about right what i wrote time wise - although did see Robbie Neil put about 2 mins on me in the first 5ks

Also got sent a photo of the start of the bike leg - i look absolutely smashed , and that's before I've even started.



Will be out for my favorite HuRTS session tomorrow - the 14 x 3 minute efforts, it doesn't hurt no less but i somehow manage to get through this one OK.

Cheers
