I'm slowly getting more accustomed to this 4:50 wake-up call that required for the swimming. It's not easy yet, but not only did I wake up today, I actually got some work done while at the office. So, my brain is still functioning with somewhat less sleep. It was another good session in the pool this morning. It can be a little frustrating as I'm doing my last few laps, and I look over and the fast lanes have been empty for quite some time. I know my time there will come. I have the general fitness, I just need the form.
More long intervals today. Last week I was impressed when I did 100m non-stop. This week I'm doing repeat 200's. I guess there's something to be said for motivation. The tips I'm getting are helping considerably. I can tell that form is better, when I'm focusing on it. It's still not ingrained (it's only been a week, I don't have unrealistic expectations) so concentration is a must. As long as my rate of progress stay here for the next few months, I'll be out of the water MOP next summer, giving me the chance to ride and run down the field.
Swim: (from memory, so there's likely to be errors. Did I mention I'm tired?)

Afternoon weight session went pretty well. Rows were a bit off, but I think I pulled something in my neck/traps trying to breathe during the kick sets this morning. Otherwise, a really good session.
