Cool Swim

It is a cool morning. It was raining yesterday evening. Cold water? *wink wink*

I was not disappointed when I jumped in! It could be better if more colder, but cannot complain.

Decide to go back to basic to put in 200meter circuit. Did 3 sets, can feel like struggling a bit and the pacer uncle already almost to my heel leow…damn…abit TL, so decide to switch back to breast and Go.

The target distance is 2.5 this morning. I need to push up the mileage and get the stamina for Desaru. It is like so early of the swim, already go at race pace leow. Dunno can last the distance or not. No matter what, whatever will come will come, since already cross over the fence leow…no need to look back.

The pace get faster and breathing get heavier as laps after laps I pressed on. For the next few hundreds meter, the gap remains constant. As time goes on, pace uncle shagged leow! Wahaha…so my turn to put the distance between us. It was tough to say the least. Race pace leh.

I lost abit of count at some part of the swim. Nevermind, just move on with whatever I perceive it is. Manage to get back a full lap(100meters) between us, but not able to overtake him as he has started earlier and complete his 2.5km when I reached 2.1km.

Without any challenge, the pace get slower. Must be I am getting tired and slower. No matter, finished the 2.5km in 67mins. Comparatively it is slow timing with the kind of effort put in. Maybe the lap counting is wrong.

I am glad I had completed 2.5km this morning. Can feel the energy waning at the end of the swim, but good to start building up the endurance again. I am going to do more swim in prepare for Desaru.
