Personals

There's been a couple of these over the past few days. A 750m PB in the pool on Saturday was a good place to start - 10:35, and 4 seconds better than my previous effort. I went hard but got the pacing spot on - 5:38 at the 400m split, so negative splitting was the order of the day. I've also set a new PB in my 5km time trial on the roads round the house. My previous personal was set just over a month ago (18:14), so it was good to shave 11 seconds off that and post a new benchmark of 18:03. I didn't feel too exhausted after it either, which is a bonus.

I attended the Wednesday night swim session with the club for the first time yesterday. Some different faces there, about 30 of us all told. I was the second fastest behind a bloke called Adam, who was a hell of a swimmer. Good session - about 2700m all told. Was feeling the water well, cranking out 1:19's and 1:18's for 100m as a guide.

Looking forward to the weekend - it's been far too long since I saw Sarah! Two days of work to get through first though, but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel! I've now decided my race schedule for 2010, but more on that later.

Time for my commute, so its out with the mountain bike, which is all but destroyed after 2 years of deprivation...
