    Good luck Emma!
    I am surprised you can enter so many events. Here you are allowed 2 events per day. For the European championships it was 5 maximum over 5 days.

    1100m

    300 warmup

    Then races
    400 free
    100 back
    50 free
    4x50 medley relay
    200 free

    Got gold in all but the 50 free where I got beaten by 0.3seconds. I'm not a good sprinter and feeling very unfit in a 50m pool lol.

    Tomorrow I have the 800 free 50 back 200IM 100 free and 4x50 free relay.

    Congratulations on your 4 Golds and 1 Silver. That puts you in Celebrity Status.
    For me you are the Penny Oleksiak of MFP.
    What ever you do today is Bonus. :)

    Was unexpectedly very tired at the end of the work day yesterday. Took an actual rest evening.
    Ready to swim at least 4 miles after work today.
    Side note. My last Friday in China this trip.
    Home next Wednesday.

    A second Congratulations to @emmab0902 for her great success in Australia. :)

    Early morning splash. The water was nice and cold so I really enjoyed the swim.
    40 lengths - 1km all front crawl.

    I missed 2 Adult Swim Club sessions last week - travelling for work - and that also meant I missed all the lane swimming. Was not a happy camper last week.
    Looks like an Early Winter this year - lots of snow in the last 3 days. Last year it was mid-November before we got hit.

    90 laps last night. Then went to a Chinese indoor Archery range for a bit over an hour. Met a group of 20 somethings, some if whom spoke passable English.
    They asked if I shot before so I showed them pictures of the Archery range in my back yard :D

    First swim since Aussie. Our flight back was delayed due to a worldwide computer crash of Air New Zealand, so had to stay a night in Auckland. Got home yesterday, then had to fly Wellington at 630 this morning for two days at police college. Fortunately college has a 25m pool so I went for a swim tonight.

    2900m

    It's a six lane pool but didn't have any laneropes so felt a bit choppy! Plus a week's holiday doing zero exercise, sitting on planes, and eating lots has caught up with me lol.

    2125 m Adult Swim Club. Missed last 3 sessions due to work so just about 2 weeks since I had a real organized-solid workout. Today there was a real emphasis on kick sets.

    2 x 50 kick + 50 FR warmup 200

    25 kick + 50 FR
    25 kick + 50 BR
    25 kick + 50 BK
    25 Kick + 50 Choice

    100 FR
    2 x 50 kick + 25 Fr
    2 x 50 Kick + 25 Bk ( Starting to HURT :s )

    100 Br
    2 x 50 kick + 25 Br
    2 x 50 kick + 25 Bk

    100 Br
    50 kick + 25 Fr
    50 kick + 25 Br
    50 Kick + 25 Bk

    3 Dolphin + 3 Strokes Underwater - then hard to the wall - Flip Turn Repeat for 50 m total
    Front, Breast, Back, Choice Net 4 x 50m = 200m

    200m Fr Constant Stroke Count

    100m cool down

    *kitten* that was tough, which means that it was something I need to repeat.

    The Instructor mentioned that they were looking at starting a Masters Club and wondering if I would be interested. Why not - I would get extra swim lessons/pool time. Which would improve my Tri-Athlon abilities and give me another excuse to travel for recreation - Win Win Right ?? B) . Now the scheduling fun begins Family, Running, Swimming, Downhill Skiing, Cross Country Skiing and Life. Oh and some where I am supposed to work.
    The only concern, the Potential Coach is a bit of a super athlete.
    All ways seems to be in the top 5 of anything she takes on so tonight's workout would be an easy night under her, and I am truly wooped right now.
