Uurrgghh... tough shift today. It was a swimming day but boy oh boy my body did NOT want to play. The aftermath of Saturday's alcohol and a few late nights and early mornings left me feeling really lethargic and tired.
I got into the pool and swam two lengths and had to stop for a rest. Not really Iron Man form! I tried the thigh-to-thumb drill and it made a big difference. Sadly the difference it made was to make me twice as tired as I normally am. To be fair though it did also make me swim a bit faster so that's a plus. I managed to keep that up for maybe the first 10 or 15 lengths but after that I had to switch back to my old, ugly, style because I was just too tired.
Somehow I managed to splash and grunt my way through 60 lengths. Goodness only knows how because after the first couple of minutes I wouldn't have bet on making 6, let alone 60. I trudged out of the pool feeling empty and sore.
One thing I definitely know is I NEED SLEEP!!!
Peace, out.
