• Faster, stronger, longer.  No this is not an advertisment for my new gigolo career  90 laps in 1hr 30mins due to three things

  
  

  1.  I was using a "glide" tri pants and swimming cap to swim; but this didn't make me feel significantly faster
  2.  I was kicking off when I reached the side of the pool, then using the front crawl kick to get maximum distance while gliding out the first 15m of the pool.
  3.  My kick timing has changed to maximize my glide.  This has the most effect I feel, as I have already changed this since Sun and have felt that I have gone significantly faster.  I have switched back to glide-more-pull-less, yet still getting faster timing.

  
  

  Not going to Kulai after an invite from Samuel because of shifters spoilt and I tried to get new shifters in before last evening but couldn't so went for swim as planned beforehand.  Sad, like he said, when I can go he can't, and when he can I can't.  Hopefully next week we can make it to Batam together on Sun.

  
  

  I now know who was his training partner at Batam - Woon Lip, or Lippy, who was also at last Sun's ride and definitely holding back as he gentlemanly stayed behind and helped the Canadian lady (while I ungentlemanly, sped off to join the front group).

  
  

  Okay... going out to get some milage on the bike now.  Singlespeeder... or two gears rather (53x15 and 39x15 for those who know what they mean).
