Better swim

Schedule and actual: 40 mins of drills

250m warm up, then 50m each of kick, pull, closed fists and catch-up. Repeated several times, with 100m reps on the last one, then 250m cool down. It all felt much better than Wednesday. Also I tried a little soap (well dried) in my goggles and they stayed clear all session, which was a revelation.

Busy in the pool today with half the deep lanes in use for the swimathon. Slotted in with a couple of moderately fast guys in a lane, then went to join Jenna when her lane emptied out. Bad move - being the edge lane with the steps, it attracted a dry-hair swimmer (i.e. she wouldn't duck under the lane rope or get in off the end into another lane) who was really, really, really slow. I feel bad for saying that, but she was. I even caught her up on kick lengths. Why would you get into a lane with two swimmers who are clearly a lot faster than you? There was still plenty of space in the other pool too.

Hmph. Anyway, we were nearly done then so just put up with it.
