It's been a while since I've been in the pool. Due to bad weather, holidays and sickness, I think I've gotten wet twice in the last three weeks. That's hardly enough to get faster, or even maintain my present "not fast" speed. But this morning I finally got to return.
I was welcomed by my lanemates, and after explaining I was hit hard with a cold for two weeks, they asked, "You do know about the 3800m distance set on Friday, right?" Well, with that on the horizon, I had better put in a strong day, hadn't I? (I'm not sure if that's fancy grammar, or so bad my grade 8 English teacher will hunt me down for writing it.) And so I did, leading hard, making the EZ efforts closer to EZ+, and really working the harder bits. I may not have swam much the last few weeks, but I've been reading and watching lots of videos on Youtube, and picked up a couple of things to improve my stroke. I think I've fixed part of my catch, because I felt that I was catching more water earlier, and subsequently going faster with less effort. We'll see at the next test set if that's the case.

Nice supportive lanemates you have. Noone needs to be reminded they will be swimming 3800 after being off for a while due to circumstances beyond their control.
