ONE MILE
4 x 250m (200 crawl, 50 backstroke)
4 x 25 m kick
100m breast
100m back
200m crawl
100m breast
50m back
=========
1650 m (42:06:37 minutes)
Tried out my new SEAL swim goggles. They were great for vision and no leaking or fogging, but I'm not quite sure about the comfort. There was a bit of a conflict with my swim cap and top seal of the goggles and afterwards several marks on my face and pressure on my nose. I'll have to keep experimenting and see if I like them
Good swim. I was a bit worried when a large group of boys started invading all of the lanes, but I talked to the guy supervising them and convinced them that it was best if all of the boys were in one lane. Actually there were so many that they ended up in 2 lanes, but at least the adult swimmers were separated from the kids. For me swimming is my sanctuary and the fewer people I have to deal with in my lane the better.
Convinced the woman in my lane to split the lane rather than keeping to the right so that I didn't have to pass her all of the time or worrying about swimming into her while swimming backstroke.
Towards the end of the swim there were 2 guys in the lane next to me. One was an old guy (about 70 years old) who was swimming at a fairly good pace despite a rather odd form, the other was about my age, tall and also swimming fairly quickly. If both of them had just a few pointers on technique they could blow me out of the water speedwise.
All in all a great swim!
