12th day of Christmas
Today I did a 1 hour 20 minute swim. The first hour was spent doing 100s on 2 minutes with a pull buoy and paddles (with 10s – 15s rest). Not fast by any means but a start.
In the afternoon I did 21,097m on the rowing machine in 1 hour 29 mins 37s. That was hard and I spent quite a bit of time shaking once I had finished. Weird. I did well for the first 63 minutes. Then I ran out of music and I didn’t want to get off to put something else on. After that the pace slowed a little more than a fraction.
My previous personal best (before triathlon) was in April 2004 when I did 1:39:44. So, in nearly eight years, I have improved by just over 10 minutes. Not bad.
