Saturday swim set

This is our long swim for the week.  It is 3.4km long made up of a set of 2 pyramid's (50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 300, 200, 100, 50) all performed with pull buoy and paddles.

Craig, Faye and I all headed off to the Valley Pool, it was once again made into a 25mtr pool which makes it a real challenge to keep count of laps! 

I jumped in the same lane as Faye and I was feeling OK.  Faye pulled away from me fairly quickly and I ended up not taking the full breaks so that I didn't end up being lapped.  The last 50m of each set was HARD, so I was using the easy laps as my recovery.  Craig and Faye were swimming fairly similar and thankfully they had a bit longer break in between the 2 pyramids.  I started right behind Faye when she started her 2nd pyramid and I thought that I would try and stick to her like glue, which of course meant that my 'easy' laps were now upgraded to 'comfortably uncomfortable!'. 

Thankfully, though I was able to hang on, although she was pulling away on the fast laps.  So, I will try and stick to either Faye or Craig doing this set and hopefully that pace will become 'easy'.  Basically this is a huge improvement for me as Faye lapped me last week on more than one occasion.

We had breakfast at Campo's around the corner which was fantastic.  Nothing like a good breakfast and nice coffee after a good session.
