52 Laps

Just completed my routine swim, this time, was joined by Dad and Anne. Dad says he's doing great despite his "Old Engine" (so he claims) hehehe, I think he did less than 20 laps? haha.

Anne did 20 laps too! A great improvement from her previous 9, but of course on the shorter route, which is 20m per lap.

Personally, I did 52 laps, which equals 1.3km! WHOA! felt I could go more, but time didn't permit. All in all, 1 butterfly, 2 breast stroke and the rest freestyle.

Tried multiple breathing paterns today, and true enough, found the perfect combination to get me going.

Will try to go for 2km by the end of this month, hope it works out!

First swim...

Argh, after months of laziness, tiredness, lack of enthusiasm, lost of interest, lacking in fitness, I've finally come out of hibernation and decided to dump my heavy 98kg body into the swimming pool!

Yeah came along was Anne, dearest, here's the breakdown of the session;

Starting with the swimming pool, 25x20 m, of course I'll only take the longer path! In total, covered 32 laps which means 32/4x100 = 800 meters. Yeah, I know you can calculate by multiplying the length of the pool with the number of laps, but I'm just doing it to train my maths power ok?

4 laps of breast stroke, 2 laps of butterfly, and the rest freestyle. Done in 1/2 hour, broken into 2 session, first one consisting of 15 laps and the rest later.

Anne was still a newbie to freestyle, so she had 4 laps of leg kicking, 3 laps of right hand pulling, and another 2 of left hand pulling, not bad right?

That's my first of many swims from now on!

Could have gone much faster if my frame is still that lean 85kg, but, well, some things have to give, and some have to go, looks like weight given, and speed went....

Disastrous first day

Noticed I spelled Duathlon as "Duethlon" in the last post? It is done purposefully

Well there goes my first day of training, rain stopped me from swimming.

yeah I actually woke up late but HEI! It rained!

Duethlon

Since I'm already into cycling, and not really into running, I shall start to train back swimming! That shall make me a duethlon.

To start with, I shall swim every morning at 7am. I've already got a good swimming background, and an extreamly hydrodynamic body, so we'll see how it goes
