Swimming Challenge

As part of my set tonight I did 5 x 100m at CSS, supposedly 1:54

1:45, 1:50, 1:54, 1:55, 1:54. Pacing needs improving! Nice to have the pool to myself too.

I know not really the point, but how deos everyones else 200m times compare to their 400m TT?

I did a 200m TT last night and clocked 3.01. (comapred to 400m at 6.21). I was chuffed to bits and want to break 3

Sorry if this is geeky, ignore me and I will get my stato fix in winterswim.

Really am hoping to get down the pool this weekend

Chest problems have ment no swimming for me thois week

Muffin, FWIW:

200m 3:40.97
400m 7:28.93

200m 3.20 ish
400m 6.39

I could obviously try harder on one of them !!

Mind you saying that 20 secs difference is same as you Muffin, perhaps its Cat that needs to work harder on the 400!!??

200m - 2:56
400m - 6:14

Is your maths correct there Meldy? 2 x 3:20 is 6:40....so the same as your 400m time.... I think you do have gills. Can you down pints without breathing?

Thats kind of where I was coming from .. but then if you look at BK and Muffin then they have a similar set of figures as well

So perhaps its you that needs to practice drinking pints through your ears 

Managed to do two sets of 400m front crawl and a set of 200m breaststroke this morning.
No lane swimming which made it both easier in that I wasn't having to wait for people in front of me in the lane and more difficult because I had to navigate around some people (good practice for open water racing ).

Bit gutted as I managed to erase the log for the first set on my Poolmate while checking it. Upside is that I know I can swim quicker than I have been under the right conditions.

Going to use my second set time of 9 mins 52 seconds for this weeks time which is still an improvement.

Haven't done many TTs recently but I've almost nailed tumble turns. Hopefully that will speed up my TTs

It would most certainly hamper mine as I'd have to walk back from the wrong side of the pool  

Finally managed a swim 8:05 which considering IM Wales was 5 weeks ago, I am really please with.

SA ... was that swim today ... or last week?

It was on Saturday 20th

Can I join in too? Did 400m in 8:01 for the winter swim this morning.

pretty sure I can beat this though as it was my 3rd attempt, I miscounted on the first 2, I am really bad at counting lengths.
