Training Log Archive: O Steve!

Best result of the year?....not a big event, but my own quiet private 450 swim TT which I have been doing for close to 25 years.....I shocked myself by going 6:55.08 after a few years of just getting under 7 minutes. I was convinced I would never see sub 7 again but a relaxed (not frantic) smooth, no plash, no thrash effort carried the day. And my swim times followed for the year...doing a bit better than I thought I would by following the above advice....old dog, learned a new trick that worked
