So I swam at Bakar yesterday, keeping my promise to LZ and myself that I would swim four days a week. So it was just to foggy and cold on Tuesday to make it to the other pool, so I decided to wait until ten and try Bakar just to see how crowded it was. It actually wasn't bad. I had my own lane for about 20 minutes, but the lanes are wider so when I shared I didn't feel as cramped as I do when I share in Brisbane. But the amazing thing was I did the 400 warm up in 7 minutes. For me that is amazing. It means I was averaging about 1:46 per hundred, which is really fast for me. Then I did five 100's and I did them at about 1:40, which is really good for me again. So even though I haven't been working hard, it is still coming along, slowly, but I am getting faster.
But my endurance just isn't there. I hardly finished the workout I had planned and I was totally bushed. I got home went to work to keep my mind off of food, but mail came and we got Cook's magazine. I must have spent an hour going over the recipes and looking at the pictures. But I have to admit I couldn't have been that hungry because the scalloped salad did not look appealing to me. Everything else did, just don't like scallops, and no matter how deprived of food I am I would rather drink the shakes then eat a scallop.
I know I am going to have to do more then swim. I just am getting a bit lazy. Maybe tomorrow I will try a bike ride if the sun is out????

Scallops are actually great - you must have had some bad experiences. TSH LOVES scallops.
ReplyDeleteYou actually looked at "Cooks Country" which has more "comfort type" food - usually a bit easier to prepare and REALLY tasty! "Cooks" is also super - two great magazines. I can end up FULL after reading them.
Bike rides to come.
Try Bakar again tomorrow at 10am & see how much fun it is.
Maybe you're faster because you've got the stroke down pat. eh?
