So my third time in the pool.. I know I did 30 lengths last week so the plan is to do the same and maybe push a few more out. We get there at 21.00 and notice the car park is looking more empty than previously.. When we get in there the fast lane is pretty full but I decide to swim in it anyway.. The first few lengths go well, I swim fast. After about 6 lengths I start to feel tired.. The thought that I have another 24 lengths to do makes me feel deflated.. Also all the swimmers in my lane are very strong and I sense they're catching up on me. I get to 10 and decide to go to the medium speed lane. There are about 6 swimmers in this one. A few new faces. This is much better, more my speed. The next 10 come easy but these newbies do a couple of lengths and keep stopping at one end. This makes my turns almost impossible. At one stage all three of them were blocking the end having a chat. This wound me up and I looked to the life guard to see if he noticed. He didn't. I carried on and made it to 30 and did 2 more just to see if I could.
A few mins of rest and I did 12 more lengths. Darran wanted to do two more so I joined him and asked if he wanted to race, he didn't. I still went for it though and did two lengths in 45 seconds.. Good speed. Love to be able to keep that pace up.. Good swim tonight. :-)
