Yes must be something like that, shows what difference a wetsuit makes to my swimming, also cant discount the draft effect from so many swimmers, I guess youre effectively swimming in a flow of water created by the 100's of swimmers in front. 

Nice swimming Barlos

I'll pace you to sub 7 if you like  

7:35 again for me this week

Not seeing much improvement ... I think I'm going to have to introduce a 3rd weekly swimm session for a while .... maybe start doing: -

1 x Interval
1 x Drill
1 x long steady

Think I will wait till the clocks change to make it a bit easier getting up on a morning  

6:14 for me again

I think its very difficult to improve on 2 swims a week. We're in the pool for 6am training tomorrow morning  

3 to improve is the rule of thumb I believe

Melds most years I average 1 session per week 

Swam this morning ... just an AE swim ... slowed it down and took it back to basics ... dropped my stroke rate to 1 stroke every 1.16 secs on focused on a nice long reach and slightly open fingers ... averaged 2mins per 100m .. felt quit good  

Still missing my 6:14 from last week Will

Do you think we need to change the rules slightly to make it easier to score points? We could keep going as we are, but if you're behind by say 100 points and have to beat your PB just to get a couple of points then points seem a bit pointless.. i mean if you equal your PB, surely that should be worth something? Beat your PB for a bonus.. I think otherwise it will reach a stage that nobody will be able to score at all.. i think i'm nearly there 

I've been pondering this i have a few ideas 

was thinking each week ...

 ... if you match or better your Base score you get 15pts bonus
 ... if you get within 5secs of your base you get 5pts bonus 
 ... Top 5 each week get a Bonus of 5,4,3,2 & 1 pt
 

What you think?
 

Sorry I have been missing the last couple of weeks, swimming has been minimal due  to racing and work. I managed to get one session in this week and did a PB of 7m 40s which I was v v happy with!

Sounds good to me WIll and easier to get points on the board which is more motivating

That sounds good!

*** NOTE OF CHANGES ***

From next Week points will be allocated as follows.

1pt for logging a Time in a week
2pts for every second you better your BASE TIME
15pts bonus if you match or better your BASE TIME
15pts bonus if you match your logged PB
5pt bonus if you get within 5secs of your BASE TIME

Top 5 improvers (in seconds based on base time) each week will get bonus of 5,4,3,2 & 1pt

Now the question is ..... can i write that as an excel formula??? 

Reset scores?

Nope ... Going forward .... next week is a new month so makes sence just to start new scoring from new month 

cool, that excel sheet will keep you busy  

better get back down the pool then

Cant I just go back to an Outlaw swim related base time ?!!....
