Only 3.3km Friday morning. Had the road trip after work. Overnight at a bad hotel. Bad "breakfast buffet" Saturday morning. I only had 2 hardboiled eggs from it.
Tomorrow, i'll try a long swim to make up for 48 hours off.0 -

I just couldn't seem to stop today.
Set a new personal swimming distance record.
20km in 7 hours 9minutes.
The 17.6km mark was 9 minutes shorter than September.
Average pace, 3 seconds faster.
I am a fan of EFS now, for sure.
No stimulants. Just high levels of electrolyte replacement and 96 carb calories per serving.
I felt as good at 15.6km as I did at 6 6km.1 -
4200m this morning, race pace training for the 200 free, and some butterfly thrown in. I want to qualify for USMS Nationals in 200 free and 100 fly....3

1km this morning - not the best thing to do strength training and then expect a longish swim. Arms were having none of that nonsense1

Managed 2,500 with Masters on Sunday after about a month off. It felt [painfully] good.3

6.6km last night.

1km again - was going to be 3, but I couldn't get out of bed, then I couldn't be bothered in the pool. And the universe rewarded my laziness by having the shower soak my bag and clothes so I spent an age drying them.
Good start to day haha1 -

Traffic... With my adjusted work schedule, I leave 15 minutes later than previous years. Doesn't seem like much, but it's translated into a 45 minute swim vs 1hour+
However, I have added lifting 2 days/week, so I knew my pool time was going to be shortened. Just keep getting there. It's winter. It's dark. It's rainy. It's damn cold. But "it's what I do." So, I got 1 mile and change. And then had an awesome water cardio class with some great intervals (not too many!) and some more extended cardio. It's all good. 3 -
