    Happy New Year everyone. Hope the sea is smooth, upside down breastrokers in a different lane, and water temperature is pleasant for all.

    Might as well put down my goals for the year whilst I'm at it:
    • Complete the Guildford12 in April (swim a mile on the hour for 12 hours in a 50m lido in Guildord, UK)
    • Swim Lake Windermere (10.5 miles) in July
    • Swim 750km minimum this year

    NY Resolution is to keep updating the table! Most of my swims will be in an endless current pool, usually faster than 1:45/100m setting, but I'll apply a 30mins=1.5km for this table. Triathlon focused again this year, but pure swim goals will be a medal at the LC Masters Champs 1,500m, and I want to get my 50, 100, and 400 times down to 30s, 1:0x, 5:2x. And learn to backstroke!

    Only saw the 2017 version of this thread last November, so didnt bother joining in, but going to try and record my swims this year
    First swim in about a month. Bit of a slog, but should be back up to speed in a week or so. First ever swim using a swim watch too. Seems ok. Told me I did an extra length than I did, so not too bad :D

    Spent New Year's Eve in A&E getting an X-Ray for my foot. I've been gimping on it for a few weeks. No break/fracture, just appears to be a sprain.

    Looking forward to healing and getting more time in the pool this year!

    Been meaning to do this for a couple of years so now that I'm back training properly I'm going to try it. Hopefully I'll keep remembering to update!

    Get involved! To add yourself quote the most recent log, copy & paste the line of someone else's log, change the name to yours and the lines after are as follows:

    |Total distance swum| , |Total pool distance swum| , |Total O.W. distance swum| , |Details of last session/description of swims etc| , |total number of swims|

    Every time you update your log, quote the most recent post and change your details. Remember to delete the quote tags around the post and anything written outside the chart.

    If you can't figure out how to add yourself I'm sure someone lese will, and the rest is dead easy!

    Main: 4*(2*200 off 3:30, 1*200 fast off 4:00)
    My fast 200's came in 2:57, 2:57, 3:00, 3:05. The slower ones came in between 2:55-3:12. What gives? Long body, long stroke, good technique, controlled breathing, relaxed... attributes for the slower 200's. Punchy, tight, frantic, gasping... for the fast 200's. Slow down and hold form, ya jackass!
