Hoo!.. freezing out here. imagine swimming in 5 degrees! wtf!!!
The 3rd trng out here, the first morning training. 5.30am, at the pool.
The air was so cold, your body was the heater to the person next to you..
I looked at the outdoor pool...
I remembered the CHina trip i had few years ago, that heavenly looking Lake, where it was so cold, it had like steam coming out of it. this time, i saw it again, in the pool which i was about to jump into...
theres problems uploading the photos, so maybe ill try again another day.
the set was alright. basic warm up followed by a funny set. mainly pulling today. i thought wow this is my best chance to go faster !! but, i dismissed the idea when i had a try on the set.
their pulling is funny. they use a band to tie up their legs..zz.
so its like normal pulling, just that they tie up ur legs at the ankle, restricting your leg movement, the only u can do with ur legs now, is butterfly kick..zzz..
and theres still the brooke wilson who does things at donky kong speed..
they pulled at like 1.25 per 100m, just with pullbuoy. that wtf!, i was struggling to keep up. the girls owned me la.. i dunno why, they just pulled as though normally...
then now, they took off their pull buoy..zz wth man. so its swimming, with that band around ur legs. its crap.. my legs were sinking like 40cm deep. imagine the drag, honestly, i didnt complete that set. this totally killed me,, the girls pull and pull away, while i watch helplessly. i asked the coach, how to MOVE?!! she said it emphasizes on the core muscles.. which u can see i totally lack..zz. the drag is great...
the cold was some what too cold. so cold, u find that the sports school pool is warm.. !!?? wtf !!?? they maintain at 26 degrees pool water. the wind and the 5 degrees really made 26 degrees feel WARM.
thats all for the FIRST morning training. my feet is frozen.. awaiting second trng of the day at 5pm. GL all.
