Swim

600m easy
800m with every 3rd lap single arm stroke for 2 strokes (2 arm drill)
8 x 100m steady
4 x 200m with pull and paddles - 2 arm drill up, free style catch-up coming back.

Really enjoy doing the swimming drill work. I think psychologically I feel it is helping me to become a better swimmer whilst not being too hard cardiovascularly.
I mixed up the 8 x 100m and did - 75m butterfly straight (the best i've ever done), band round ankles, PT paddles etc,
The hardest thing I find is swapping between right and left arms with the 2 arm drill. When going from right arm to left my right looses it - I guess this is the whole point of the drill.
Great to see all the usual faces at the pool. Some time for a good chin wag as well.


Earlier in the day went for a Sauna for 30mins - Will tried out the creche for the first time and loved it as did the people looking after him and he made some new friends.
- with the Sauna i've been doing a bit of research into performance and acclimatisation - basically trying to get the sodium loses in sweat to drop, the sweat rate to go up and my ability to process fluid elevated - a bit of an experiment.

Ella sick with D&V so a lot of rushing around with all the evening feeding and bedtime preparations before I could get off to the pool.
