Also a double day.
PM bike 36 miles 2700 odd ft of ascent, a pedestrain 2h40mins 
Eve loch swim nice leisurely 0.75 mile, just me swimming and a couple of paddle boarders so nice and peaceful. Breathing every 5, a bit choppy but beautiful and sunny

Bloody dreadful swim this morning. Right from the off I just wasnāt feeling it and every length just dragged on. Didnāt help with the pool feeling like it was about 600 degrees. Sacked it off after 45 mins as I was struggling.
Hopefully get out for an easy runch today. Though weather has turned grey and wet and windy again.

I went to pool for first time since May (?) and my first thought was āthis is colder than the bl00dy lakeā.
I thought they were all turning the temps down to save energy costs - clearly not.

The 19ā¦ m one we have ( part of gym membership ) is boiling and gets choppy when you have it to yourself!
I think they keep it at 29? Or something crazy.
All my PW swims have been in there much faster in a river or lake with a suit on, faster in other colder pools too, use it as training and keep going
That was the other thing. Our pool had roughly 20 in it (across 4 lanes). The chop was awful. Far worse than any outdoor swim Iāve done. Iād never cope in a sea swim!

When I said to the paddleboarders/dippers (not feathered!) last night about the lower than normal Summer temp in the Loch, they said they hadnāt noticedā¦ well I guess not when you pootle about for 5 mins with your head like a meerkat 
Give me a 600 degree pool/Loch anyday

Swimming again tonight.
4 x 400m, rest 1:00.
Pleased with the pacing, managed 1:38/100m as an overall average.
Bloke in the next lane was swimming 2k straight through.
Seen him before and he purposefully swims at the same rate as me (possibly to keep him company).
Thing is, he can obviously go a lot faster, whereas Iām pushing it. Remind me of this quoteā¦

Does that overall 1m38s per 100 include the rest periods? Got a sinking feeling that it mightā¦
So @apm is doing 5:32/400m ā¦ 
Thatās good.
Although ā¦ isnāt he a former international water polo player?

Sadly not Fruity.
The days of swimming those kind of times on repeat have long gone.
@Poet, I reckon I could still do that pace as a one off 400m. Even though I may need an oxygen tank after.

Finally went out for a run, felt strong and fast on the trails. The last path, caught a root and went straight over on to the hip and bruises from the car last Sunday. 
Jogged it out, walked home and washed off the sweat-dirt mud.

Zwift last night, climb portal + volcano laps for about an hour. A nice bit faster than in the week, was short of breath but manageable
SPO2 levels at 92% this morning though. Always seem to struggle next day if I push it a little
