You know the drill by now... mark your progress over the coming winter months as you grow a set of gills. Stick down a few words detailing each attempt.

My 5:55 above... a good starter marker but a lesson in how to do it the wrong way. 1:17 for the first 100, 1:25 for the second, and a drowning man impression to struggle home over the last few lengths.

Have been putting off doing one of these for the last week or so. Damn you Kurt..

It can only improve. This was done in a 20m hotel heated kiddie zoo pool. One end had a wall too high to grab the top so I had to tumble turn. They were woeful attempts. One or 2 connected and I glided half the pool off the wall. For most though I found myself diving for treasure on floor tiles. The time is even fake because 20m pools don't count. I'll use it as a banchmark nonethless. My tecnique sucked, shoulders burned and I gasped for air. Rubbish. My excuse is my 2 swims a month average this year

Poor enough and almost 20secs off my PB. I'm still coming back from an injury / nerve problem in my arm and shoulder that has weakened the grip and caused ongoing numbness in my right hand. I didn't swim a stroke for almost two months at one stage this year. On the plus side I started with a new Masters group last week so expecting great things. The session is with the head coach of my kids swim club and we swim with the 'A' squad kids, some of whom are around the 1min mark for 100m fc and can kick drill faster that I can swim - obviously the fat aul lads like me are in a different lane but I'm hoping for great things. The downside is as it's a real swim squad training session it's at 6am!!

Which pool is this in? And which club. Sounds good

I think I kick drill faster than I swim.

Is that masters session in St. Fiaccs? What's needed to join the swim club?

Just answered my own question. Wednesday is in St. Fiaccs looks a little out of my league at the min.

Might as well get involved for the winter. Probably not the best idea to do at the end of a 3000m training session

a disappointing effort at 6 mins. was on track for 200m but lost it on the 3rd 100m
no dive because not allowed in the local pool.
would love to try a 400mTT in a 25m/50m just to see the difference

Better, more controlled, but more control needed. Still went out a little too fast (1:20 for first 100m), and died between 250-350m, but all that is to be expected.

I should have looked at the table before I hit the pool, might have found those couple of seconds

Yes, time for you to get back in the pool!

Last weeks TT, I knew sub 7 was touch and go but just missed it, knackered for a finish. That's enough tts until New Year or until swim coach says otherwise.

Tango, can you make sure Fran does his next one before I do mine? I work better when I'm competitive

Pretty sad state of affairs though that my competition is JB

Food for thought madm; you slaughter me in the OW, and thats where it matters.

Lads just wondering what you all do before your TT. I did around 1k before doing the TT. It was broken down into a set of 200m medium pace followed by 2 X 100 fast, x2 then 200 easy.

Kurt_Godel

400 warmup
10*50 as (25kick, 25swim; 10s)
<min rest
400mTT

Other TT's have been similar.

2old4dacold

my 20m effort is done in my local pool, similar warm-up to Kurt

my 25m was at a recent masters gala but I swam terrible for that race

My lack of consistency, over indulging and workload seem to have had a big enough impact since Port beach. Been spending far too much time with a physio the past few months. Here's hoping the season can be saved
