Great swim session

Coach Peter says I need to concentrate on my turns - reckons I'd save 2seconds per length just by turning better.
The other thing I need to work on is the pull - I stop at my tummy instead of pushing down to my thighs - coach peter reckons I'm losing at least 25% of the power each time. So plenty to work on!

The session today was 400 x2, 300 x2 with 30secs rest, 200 x2 and then the boys also did 100 x2. Cool down 50 breast stroke, 50 back stroke.

I did:-

350m 9.01.39
400m 10.32.84
300m 7.39.62
Rest 52.23
300m 7.38.67
Turning training with coach peter 4.28.61
200m 5.56.57
Rest 30.73
200m 5.06.19
End of session - 1750m in 50.46.85

So feeling okay about the 1.9k sea swim for the half ironman - just nervous about the whole having to do it with no breaks. No sneaky rest in the sea after each length - no holding onto the side for a breather or popping feet down at the shallow end... I was shattered at HOWSC last week - 600m non stop swim. That's what I need to focus on - my endurance!!!

Cycled for 43.44mins today, 6.57miles
Average = 9mph

Tobie - aka www.bikeguy.co.uk says I need to get my average up to 12.5mph by challenge Weymouth. Bike guy reckons I'll easily be able to do this by mid Sept :)
