There’s a difference between sleepiness and fatigue. This morning I was just plain sleepy, and it took me half a set to get warmed up. But once I did it was swell.

400 warm up
6x 300 on 5.15 (descent 4.52-4.45), 100 on 2.00
300 easy
5x 50 kick 50 pull
Total = 3.6km

Swimming is a weird sport; sometimes you’re really feelin it, other days you’re sinking faster than a brick.

Today was a good day.

500 warm up
10x 100 on 1.45 (1.30-1.33 average)
100 easy
16x 25 sprint 25 easy
200 easy
8x 50 kick 50 pull
Total = 3.4k

Crazy crazy crazy

Things have been very crazy since the couple of weeks leading up to the Boston Marathon, which was on April 16. I’ve been so over the top busy that I’ve had no time to write here, no time to finish my work, no time to do all the things I wanna do. I’d love to share all the wonderful images and experiences from the Boston trip but that’s gonna take a while.

I think I need to find a way out of this crazy stressful job. Unfortunately this company I’m working for has zero staff welfare and is all about the moolah. And no, it’s not true that all companies are like that.

Anyway I thought I was going to fall asleep on the way to this morning’s swim and start snoring in the pool, but it was surprisingly one of the best swims I’ve had ever.

300 warm up
8x 200 on 3.45 (average 3.02-3.05 each), 100 on 2.00
300 easy
400 kick
Total = 3.4k

Right, now back to drowning in work. I welcome all job propositions. This is my personal introduction that I posted on LinkedIn:

“Experienced news reporter, features writer and editor, who has worked in a range of media including radio, TV, newspapers and magazines. Adept at writing on a wide range of topics from business to science, though specialty is in health, fitness and sports - in large part due to personal passion for sports.

Outside of work I’m a keen endurance athlete, participating and occasionally winning triathlons and running races. “

FitFish Friday

Funny how everything is always relative. After swimming the 3x 1,500 set on Wednesday, today’s set seemed really short. I had hoped to swim for longer but I was sandwiched between two sick and coughing guys, so as soon as the main set was over I was out of there.

700 warm up
8x 200 on 3.30 (3.11-3.15 av), 100 on 2.00
Total = 3.1k

And then I headed straight to MX for a Flu Fighter smoothie!

FitFish Wednesday special

jeanette — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 03:04:03 +0000

So it seems in this swim squad, a public holiday means we work extra hard in the pool. Today’s Qing Ming, and so to commemorate the holiday we swam:

500 warm up
3x 1,500 descend on 30.00 (25.30, 25.10, 24.55)
400 easy
Total = 5.4k

I felt great today, strokes were smooth and relaxed.

The squad trains hard and eats hard too - we headed to Tai Heung at Wan Chai for yum cha after. Boy it was a feast!

I guess not many show up for this group ride
