Great session 
Very impressed.
Is that it for you now?
Tapir time?
Looking at the weather, got some rain during race week.

Paramedic: Why did you drink 10 pints before starting a HIM?
mw22: This doctor chap on the internet said it might be a good idea.

10 pints!! I could never drink 10 pints when I dabbled in the stuff!
2 pints now I’d still be on the floor like a soggy sandbag.

Lunch swim and new training PB for 750 by 1 s. Pleased with that. 5k race tonight - hoping I can 
under my existing PB as well 
Swim warmup I did 100m 2 arms, then 100m 1 arm at similar effort. 2 arms was 1:25, 1 arm 1:58. 2 lengths with other arm out front, 2 by my side. I find 1 arm fly easier/quicker than 1 arm crawl. I wouldn’t want to do that for more than an hour.

Great going @fruit_thief 
Got out for a lovely 16.5km at 4:37. Felt very easy and comfortable, much more than I was expecting. Put an easy ish hill effort in, unexpected KOM 
Either I was just have a particularly good day or I’m starting to hit some fitness again, just need to find an event to do something with it! Having horrible thoughts of ruining my summer for mara training…

DON’T DO IT!!!
Look out of the window - why would you wanna run 20+ miles in this?
This time of the year is for the bicycle or open water swimming

Bike ride in the sun with no view of speed or power or anything, started the garmin and put it in my back pocket, very pleasant trip, turns out it was just shy of 90km.

50m Lido swim at lunch. Beautiful pool and eye candy too. Sadly I was pissed off with work and about to get stroppy with other swimmers so didn’t enjoy it.
First time I think using a TRIQ swim workout in my Garmin Watch. …fuck know whether you are supposed to let it autodetect or hit lap:
As you can see from the HR it’s missed 3x 100m reps I think, where Id hit lap to start and it went to ‘rest’. 
It also seemed to vibrate wildly at the beginning of my return lengths. 
It also said “13 Free” occasionally 
So I did 3x 150 FS 50 BS
Then 100s until I got the arse
Probably 1800m

I know you shouldnt pop blisters. But is there an ok way to do it?
Ive got a large one on my toe (no I wont post a picture you pervs).
I have sterile needles. Wipe with alcohol, pop and plaster?
I cant walk in shoes as everytime I do it makes it worse.

I just stick a pin it to create a small hole and squeeze the puss out.
If it’s open I put one of those blister plasters on it.
Still got all my own toes, and AM willing to post pictures if it makes people happy

Pop it, peel the skin and let it harden in the air, back to normal in a couple of days in my experience
