Today's Training

[Danbert Nocurry]

Well I go in the slow line, naturally .

There one woman who is going twice the speed of everyone else and clearly should be in a different lane, keeps splashing past me.

One guy went between myself and the lane cord to overtake me when there was about an inch to spare, forcing me to stop, when he could have just gone the other side of me.

One person got into the pool just as i was turning and proceeded walk right across my path

One girl going slower than me kept turning about 10m from the end across me as I went to overtake.

One person just swam up and the middle.

But other than that, fine.

This is not good fellhell and leads me to believe that the life-guards at your pool need to start enforcing lessons in swimming etiquette.

Occupational hazard of going to the local baths I'm afraid. I do 800M in 20 mins (just steady breast stroke) so I find one lane for all swimmers, then the rest of the pool for noisy kids and older people who just stand at the shallow end chatting! Always some fast swimmer doing crawl overtaking, assuming full right of way over everybody else, then the slow overweight middle-aged women who see you're trying to get past so seem to deliberately drift into your path so you have to swim round them!).
Since recently changing to another pool, I've had the added pleasure of meeting Chaddy the Owl each week there, always very keen to remind me how much faster than me he is in the pool and on the running track!

Jesus!

It's the backstrokers that create the problems for me.

I can't believe i'm the only swimmer who gets regularly battered on the head by the flailing arms of the backcrawlers.


I've just knocked out a mile of breaststroke at the adult lane swim session at the new pool in Harpurhey this morning and had the pool pretty much to myself.

Be carefull it starts to get addictive, you'll know you're in trouble when you start to wait for it to get dark before you go on a run

You're welcome - glad you could make it and that you enjoyed it - mind you if you'd remembered to start your garmin and I hadn't left mine on the mantlepiece we'd have known how far we went!!!

at last!!!!

Training went VERY well today
2 x 2mile (11:11 and 10:53) wasnt giving it absolutely everything and came home a wee bit quicker than last time i did 2x2.

then....

2 x 1mile (5:13 and 5:11) This was MUCH faster than last time and I felt fantastic throughout

Its two years or so since Ive felt this buzz during and after rep's.
