    3000 yards @ 63 minutes

    My backstroke almost feels rather normal and good.

    Actually doing some one armed butterfly drills...perhaps one day I shall try actual butterfly.

    Noon Hour Splash and dash.
    I had a hard time counting today. I usually count out 5 laps=10 lengths for 250m then I change to a different stroke. Today I some how was counting by 10's = 20 lengths = 500m but in my mind this was correct for 250m. Wasn't until I was on my last cycle that I noticed the pool was starting to empty out - a quick glance at the clock and it was 12:50. That's when I realized my Brain Cramp :# - since I had just about completed the last cycle, I had to keep going, right? Dropped into Crawl to speed it up.

    10 20 x 25 Fr
    20 x 25 Br
    20 x 25 Fr
    10 x 25 Bk
    10 x 25 Fr = 2000m

    4 miles yesterday (141 laps)
    Had a 'wellness' doctor appointment so had to cut it short today. Only 110 laps, ~5km.

    Just annual physical. Went fine. Just have to get back on track and lose what I gained back in the last 2 years. China travel messed up the mojo. :D Need to get back to LCHF basics.

    First time back in the pool after 3 or 4 weeks off - holidays (cycling and walking)

    Water felt like treacle.and I am disappointingly down in my usual swim endurance. Whereas my cycle fitness was certainly up but already beginning to fade Interesting to see the changes so clearly. But disappointd in my loss of swimming form. Oh well, it'll come back quick enough I guess. And it was my swim fitness that meant I could imagine doing the cycling holiday...q

    Across the lake and back on two days where we were camping in Oregon. Google maps says it's about .8 mile across so a little more than 1.5 miles. Very algae-filled and hard to stay on course without a line to follow. Was a lot of fun and friends came along on stand up paddleboards to keep me from getting run over by boats.

    No swim today. Lane swim Pool time was taken over by the local Tri-Athlon.
    With my Torn Calf muscle keeping me from putting in the Training ( Running and Biking ) I Volunteered as Traffic Control for our local Tri-Athlon. A little frustrating as pre-injury I would have been in a competition with my friend Paul for the 1st/2nd AG placing :( .
    Since I can still feel a little tenderness after swimming (if doing the Whip kick breast stroke) and mid run/post run tenderness so definitely the right decision. Keep working on my slow recovery plan.

    No swimming for me today. Feel like I'm coming down with the flu. Not what I need!
