Today's Journal
This morning was well earned rest after the super Saturday and Sunday. This was a great weekend of training, it's when you've completed it and sit back and reflect that you realise that the whole thing was very worthwhile.
The PM session was at the pool, and yes it was a little cool, but once you were in swimming it was a reasonable temperature. Warm up was 3 x 100m easy then 3 x 100m pull bouy. Then some drills 1x25m easy, 1x25m medium, 1x25m hard we did this 4 times. The we went on to do a time trial, the distance was 800m. A warm down followed 300m of choice.
Session Evaluation: The swim session was the first time we had done a time trial in the pool. After/during the warm up struggled a little with sore shoulders, particularly the right one. Todays distance was 800m. I completed the fisrt 400m reasonably well, probably a little too hard, could of eased back on the pace during this time as to maintain a more consistant pace over the full 800m. From about the 400m to 600m began to fatigue a fair bit, particularly aerobically, the shoulder were also became a little more noticeable during this period. I began to try and relax a little more throughout the section and dropped the pace off a little more to enhance this. From the 600m to 800m I picked it up a little still working on keeping everything relaxed. Througout this TT I had not used bi-lateral breathing.
800m TT - 14min16sec
