I saw that on my Strava. :nauseated_face::face_vomiting:

I’m more amazed\concerned at how busy it is at 5am, clearly there’s a lot more loonatics in the world than I’d imagined :joy:

1500m swim, it was slow, my chest was bad… 400 Wu in ~7.25, very easy, then loads of 25s around 22seconds / 15 strokes. All steady, and some sprint half way easy to end ~19seconds each. Rest periods were until the wheezing stops

It was a one off they do about once a month. I think the coffee and bacon sandwiches are the biggest draw.

It’s an odd pool, 28m long. And the lane ropes do nothing to prevent waves from the other lanes, so it simulates open water quite well. But they do a good job of keeping it open and they are trying to redevelop it, so I try to support when they do special events.

This is what we are stuck with at Crystal Palace NSC (warm up pool)…suckers to connect to wall, that dont work either and randomly fall off if a wave goes to high so somtimes tied around chairs or something instead.

Quick work trip to London and squeezed in 1500m at the outdoor pool. Main takeaway (other than it being busy) is that my mental arithmetic skills found it a disgraceful struggle to cope with 27.5m lengths :smile:

8 mile run :man_running: :dash:

I felt as flat as a pancake

:pancakes:

Feeling dead as late. Maybe some bike time again and some strength work. Maybe it’s just the weird humid weather. It’s doing my nut in a bit.
