Woke up feeling all achy and muscles felt more tired then i imagined them to be. Considering it was a rather short workout last night, i was rather surprised. Anyway, woke up late as well. Guess i really was very tired. More tired then i imagined myself to be.
Decided that i should go for a swim after all although i was late. So, went to the pool. Didn't want to push very hard coz i was half deciding whether to swim or not. And while walking to the pool, i almost did a U-Turn to go back and rest. But, stuck to it, and decided to swim. Did 200 for warm up, before deciding on what exactly i wanted to do. So, decided to just swim. Minimum was to do 40 laps, and keep as close to 12 min per 500m as possible. Was off the mark by quite a bit actually. Finished the 2km swim in 48min 55s. And the 1.5km swim split was 37min 11s. Which means my last 500 was my fastest split. Not that it is very fast, just compared to the rest of the swim. Anyway, it seems that if i start off slow on my first 500m, then the rest of the swim is just slow. Coz i did a 12min 34s split for my first 500m. Well, will bear that in mind and remember to swim faster come Sunday.
After the long swim, did some work before heading to help dad out at Turf Club. I've been spending some time thinking of how best to help dad with his business. Haven't come up with anything great yet. But i guess i just have to be patient on this aspect.
Surprisingly, i did feel better after my swim. Somehow, the aches seem to have gone away. I'm hoping that it'll stay off. Not sure if i really want to do a short BRIC tomorrow though. Feel quite keen to go sea swimming. But, really, will decide when i wake up in the morning. =)
Cheers!
