With my new found confidence from the previous days swim I was able to crank the three coves out, though again definitely clawing up on the last one. On Sunday I went down again with the intention of doing three coves with a friend, who unfortunately was unable to make it due to the parking/traffic issues associated with a half marathon that was being run in the area. The experience taught me that getting the claw was not the red flag that I’d perhaps been treating it as. In the end I did three inside-outsides and kind of an abbreviated cove for around 1h 40m in the bay, and was fine when I got out and into the showers. Given the inaccuracy of goal setting so far, picking something more achievable: Swim as much as possible! Posted in training | Leave a reply Swimming with Friends We don’t always control our schedules, so yet another important reminder to swim whenever the opportunity presents itself. I did manage to get two triple coves in over this past weekend, so my two week total was pretty much only equal to my goal for one week 😦 When I got back from the trip I managed another hour in the Bay on Friday before work intervened and made swimming impossible for that weekend and the rest of the following week. I overheard a couple of folk talking about cameras while getting changed after the Thursday morning session, turns out the day before two people had been arrested for setting up hidden cameras in the women’s locker room at the facility! Bizarre stuff! The week I was in Illinois for work I managed to squeeze a little over 10 miles in three sessions in at the Recplex including one on Thursday morning.
