  • Decided to go for swim at AMK pool even though arms feel like ... duh.  Apparently can still swim 30laps in just slightly over an hour.  The decided to go half a lap freestyle and that pushed me over the oxygen debt limit, afterwhich I just left the pool.  Actually could have still gone on, but since I was already on the way out, decided to act cool and go all the way out.


    I know there were a couple of envious eyes, people who joined later and tried to outswim me but were still slower than me even though I was doing continuous laps.  One of them tried going freestyle for three laps - the best effort thus far - and managed to finish ahead of me.  It was especially noticeable when they tried to wait till I reached the end of the pool before they started out.


    Next swim will be either Wed or Thu.  I think I'm feeling stronger in the swim already but it's still very very slow, compared to freestyle.  And I can finally feel it in the legs, the tiredness everyone was trying to tell me about breaststroke.
