10 minute swim as much as you can - got to 385m. Goal is to get to 500m in 10 min, although I'm not really sure I'm improving, in spite of my 4 months of master swim. Bah.

Finally got myself a new swimsuit this weekend - previous one was hanging by a thread. Coincidentally (or not), I shaved 5 seconds off my 100m freestyle. Now I kinda want to get one of those suck it all in skinsuits and see if I can go even faster! Or, much like with cycling, I could probably also lose 20 lbs and make time gains without spending $$$$
Had to get to work early, so didn't get through the second set of kick/drill/fast/easy

@UmmSqueaky I've got a racing suit and they do help a little. Actually I need to squeeze into mine in two weeks and I'm not optimistic. I call it compression depression - finding fat you never knew you had

6.4km last night in the 22m gym pool.
I was swimming with the lane rope about 5 inches from my right shoulder. My left hand caught the left foot of the person on the other side of the rope. Crazy stuff happens when swimming in China.
Sometimes I get kicked in the ribs from the other side of the rope.0 -
