Fastest Ride home

Fastest ever ride home this evening and it was on my 42-17 single speed. Legs felt good after last weeks snowboarding and all the lights were in my favour.

Snowboarding

Back from a good week away. Was snowboarding in Les Deux Alpes. No running, no cycling, no swimming, just snowboarding with a group of mates. Snowed most days, only one full day of sunshine visibility on the other days was mixed, but no ice. Best day was the wednesday - beautiful clear sky and a day trip to Serre Chevalier.

First Swim of 2009

Happy New Year everyone.

I do hope that 2009 proves to be a happy year and a successful year and the economic predictions aren't as bad as feared.

Made it to the pool today for the first swim since Jan 1st. Didn't manage to make it before work, so went this evening instead. Had a good one. Set involved a mile warm up as 2x300 swim, 400 drill and 600 as 50m drill-swims. Then did a continuous mile set consisting of 2x200m on 3:30 (swimming 2:50), 4x100 on 1:50 (1:20-1:25), 8x50 on 0:55 (35-40s) and 16x25 on 30s (20s). Followed with a 300m warm down. Total of 3,500m in 61:40. Pleased with that.
