mix of front crawl and breaststroke around circuit class.


Woohoo! swim circuits class was ace! so glad I got back to it and he ran it just for me haha. Pull ups and squat jumps then swim down to end underwater. repeat 5 times. Then some glide work and then some sprints. Last time I timed my 25m sprint it was 21 seconds. This morning........19!! woohoo!!

Not been working on underwater stuff for a while now, so that killed me a bit, but it felt so awesome to be back doing the different stuff.

1800m this morning in what I discovered was a 30m pool. Sandwiched by a 5.4km round trip walk to the pool - which sadly was uphill coming back! Am in Nelson for the 3km ocean swim on Saturday, staying with an awesome friend who I hadn't seen in 9 years!

@emmab0902 I always wonder how so many pools got built to Non-Standard lengths. I could understand 25 x 30, 25 x 35 (with a 10m diving area) or 25 x 50. I guess that is what happens when the Building/construction committee does not have a contingent of swimmers on it. Our pool the water slide catch pool dumps it's water back into the Top of the shallow end creating a strong sideways current. They could have put it in with the overflow spilling into the bottom of the pool eliminating the issue.
So are you now addicted to the open water?? Now we just need to find you a modest entry level road bike and can we say Sprint Tri-Athlon?? That Nelson is a beautiful part of your Country. Enjoy it and the visit with your friend.

Noon he splash yesterday, normally it would be 15-20 people crowding the 3 lanes available. Yesterday 4 people.
A glorious lane all to myself. Really not used to that so in 30 minutes I had completed my planned routine and had to add some in.

I did it. Swam 2 miles. Gutzy, five seems like forever! I had extra time today and the pool was quiet, so I went for it. Probably won’t happen again for a while, but I was proud. Did the water x class after that and very nearly couldn’t walk, lol...

Bling for @emmab0902 . Well done.

That would take me well over 70 mins for that distance.

Great work, emma! Impressive!
I'm always impressed by the hard work in this group. All ages, abilities, distances and speeds, but everybody keeps showing up. It's really motivating to me.

Got my mile and a quarter in this morning. I tweaked my neck shortly after waking up, so I wasn't sure how today was going to go, but I made it through. Spent some time in the hot tub afterward, but it's still sore. Dang! All I was doing was brushing my teeth!!

3300m. Made it through almost the entire masters workout - skipped over a 200m fast and 50 easy between the 300/500, but other than that got it all.
