Whats more impressive is the pace on the last set is the same as the first set.

Do you not come out shrivelled up like a prune?
That pacing and speed is bonkers. Never fail to be astounded whenever you post it, cannot envisage going that fast or swimming that far! Or getting out of bed that early to go to the pool actually

@Sparky I have stupidly sinky legs so the combo of pull and paddles doesnāt feel like hard work for me. Not sure I can swim that far without
@GRamsay It certainly felt waaaaaaay harder though 
After about 5km was tough
@Paul Kinda get into a groove and I have music, so that helps. In fact today, Iām not in the office, so could ave stayed in bed until 10ā¦

Completed detonated on my run this morning.
Combination of things I think
Big swim and trail run yesterday
Probably didnāt re-fuel sufficiently
General fatigue
Itās fooking cold and windy out there
Am planning on some big volume next couple of weeks, so probably need a couple of easier days
Plus Iām DJ-ing Sat night until 2:30am and then driving to Telford to dress up as a zombie all day

Having to work late so unilaterally took some time back this morning to go for a swim. Nice walk to the pool as well although itās dropped about 15 degrees from the weekend.
Managed to do 10 sets of 50m off 1:20 and keep them all under a minute which is another little step forward for me. Will try to do and make the full 15 next time which Iāve only done off 1:30 before. Tried to do some kick drills afterwards but they were a disaster
Off for a coffee and a large muffin to celebrate.

Managed a rare mid morning swim.
One other guy in the lane who predictably sets off just as I get to the end every time only to be caught again two lengths later 
Still, enjoyed that - legs are feeling it a touch after a late night turbo.
Gonna get a run in over lunch but that wind is bitter out there
