Ok so maybe I haven't got IT it, but I've got something left I reckon. I was moderately pleased at being able to complete the 6km swim trial yesterday in 2hours and change...not the fastest by any means but not the slowest either. Factor in a lack of sleep, run race on Friday morning, fencing sessions on Saturday and Sunday morning, work on Saturday morning and just stress in general over the amount of writing I still have to get done before Wednesday and I must say the weekend went better than I thought it might. Despite slagging me off for being fat, David still put me in the monster lane with the navy swimmers and two speed racers who were intent on hammering every set of the swim. I thought we were just gonna slog through it and finish within the 3-hour limit but noooooo they had to make it an interval set. 1000 warm-up, 3X1000 swim, 3X500 on 10 mins, and then 500 easy...I was looking around at the other guys and we were all thinking the same thing..."This feels like squad training all over again !!" But we made it. Considering this is my first swim training session in about a year, I was pleased that I didn't spew at the end. Maybe it was cuz Dave refused to let me stop and get something to eat. Now my legs are hammered after all the fencing malarky and my shoulders don't feel too sprightly neither, but I managed to work till 1am this morning, and then was up at 7.30am to get in more writing. I still feel like a stressball though. But life, like a stressball, rolls on. And I along with it.
