Ok I've had a bad day. I've not gone running this morning and I've not gone swimming this evening and I didn't cycle to work. I know I know. It was windy.
Monday's performance was much better though. Armed with my new notes on swimming technique I tried it out and found myself coasting along quite happily. The 11 and 1 arm position dis seem to work and it felt better with more of the stoke going forward. The pool was a little crowded though and after the double lane had about six extra people in all doing breast stoke I decided to get out. I missed the morning run but made up for it by running on the tread mill. This gave me the opportunity to see how the road running was effecting my performance. It seemed to be having a good effect. My speed interval training that the PTI setup was a cruise and sprint affair. With the sprint I didn't notice a lot of change but the cruise seemed sluggish and too slow to be challenging. I'd obviosly improved since I was last on it. Hooray. I did the normal thing on the rest of the gym work and cycle machine.
Weird thing was that i lost my goggles and swim shorts. I thought I had them in my hand but when I came to put everything in the bag I could't find them anywhere and searched the locker room with no joy. They've either been half inched or hopefully been picked up by mistake and then handed in. I've had to get some replacement shorts and goggles though in case they haven't been found and I even got a swimming cap although I doubt I'll ever wear it until I enter a proper race. Tried it on in the office and the damn thing hurts like the blazes. Might have to wear it to break it in a bit!
Will try and get out tommorrow morning as I'm picking up some stuff from one of my sisters friends who has some furniture she doesn't want anymore. This may make me late to the gym or miss it entirely!
