808 state

Schedule: swim 40 drills

Actual: swim 40 drills, but inc 1 x 400m just to see what I could do

Did a mix of kick and pull drills, with a few lengths of closed-fists. Feeling good in the water, everything was flowing as it was supposed to, more or less. Then decided to blast out a 400m and made 8:08! Splits: 2:01, 2:04, 2:03, 2:00 as far as I could work out - looking at my watch during glide rather than hitting the lap button or anything. I'm really pleased with that - although how I could then get out of the pool is a mystery :) My arms are all wobbly!

Given that my 400m time at Waveney last year was 8:46, that's a big improvement :) With race-day adrenaline, could I break 8:00? Hmm....

That's cheered me up after last night!!
