To recap, on Monday I swam (or tried to do something similar to swimming, I'm not sure what I did qualifies). Yesterday I was fighting a cold, with a runny nose all day, but I did my run at night, and was left pretty tired. When I went to bed last night, I wasn't sure if I'd make it in to work today, never mind if I'd go to swimming. But I dragged myself out of bed at the early hour, felt OK, and decided I could tough it out through the day (both pool and work).
I felt OK but not fantastic during the warm-up, and was left less than impressed with my performance through a descending set on short rest. But then we did a bunch of sprints, and I was running even, if not a shade a faster, than the guy in the next lane (the faster lane ... I'm not about to brag about beating the slower lane, no matter how bad I feel). The next step was an easy pull set, and even completely relaxed, I was pulling away from the rest of my lane, to the tune of 15-20 seconds over 500 yards. Then we repeated, so more sprints, and I was matched against a different swimmer in the next lane, who was faster than me, but I tried to get him every time. And another pull set, and another distancing of my lane. So I guess I was swimming pretty well this morning. I don't even feel that cracked right now, which is even better.
