Went for my first session down in the Boy Charlton Pool. The session didn’t start until 6pm, so I got a run around the Domain in beforehand. It’s a nice area of Sydney to be running in. The pool is salt water which made a huge difference on swim pace due to being more buoyant. I reckon I was up to 5s/100m faster. Still, this was going to be the longest session I’d done to date so I was taking it easier than I might have otherwise. Plus I kept bloody cramping and salt water doesn’t taste good!
On a positive note, this is the first week I’ve done 10000m of swimming so I plan to do at least one of the 1.5hr session per week in order to keep the distance up. Off to bed now to get up at 5.30 for my long bike ride.
