The old routine as in cycling to German (25 mins each way) at lunchtime, as well as going swimming in the evening. A new bit in terms of accompanying Mark on his midweek homework, but this time on the bike (ah role, reversal :) as I was short of clean kit.
With Mark: 3.5 miles total around UEA/Colney Lane, in 3 x 12 mins + 9 mins walking (3 at the start). Great going, despite him saying at the end of rep 1 that he wouldn't do all 3. Ha.
At swimming: 400m warm up, then various drills relating to open water preparation: "crocodile eyes" for sighting, open-water starts (from treading water to swimming), mass starts (3 per lane at once), and acceleration (swim version of the train, i.e. last swimmer overtakes the rest), and turning (swimming around someone acting as a buoy). Just a couple of lengths cool down. Didn't count lengths. A good swim with a few nice bursts of speed.
