Rad Wed

February 1, 2012 – 10:24 pm

Wednesday is the hardest swim sesh of the week. I am not sure why but I am not complaining. It hurts while you’re at it, but feels so good after.
600 warm up
5 sets of 2x 200 on 3.25, 1x 100 on 2.00
200 easy
10x 50 kick 50 pull
100 cool down
Total = 4.4k

They are also well and truly hardcore - this morn, in pouring rain and 20 deg [...]

IM Korea, mission semi-accomplished

July 5, 2011 – 9:09 am

By semi-accomplished I mean that my goal of going under 12 hours (my previous IM best was 12.04 in Langkawi - which was an easier course than Korea) was achieved, but my goal of qualifying for Kona again wasn’t.
An 11.51 would have been good enough to qualify for Kona in the said Langkawi race I [...]
