MINDLESS TRAINING

Renewed my Chin Woo membeship & returned to training at the pool under the instructions of Don Khor. It has been more more than 2 years since I last completed a full training session with them. What would have been an EZ session a couple of years ago turned out to be very painful now that I am quite unfit.

The menu was 100 EZ + 8x100 Pull Buoy + 8x50 Kick Board with Fins + 8x100 Paddles with Fins + 16x50 (drills) + 100 EZ (total = 3km).
>
The set of 16x50 was most painful and comprised 5 x 3x50 (25 Butterfly/ 25 Front Crawl (FC) + 25 Backstroke/ 25 FC + 25 Breast Stroke/ 25 FC) + 1x50 FC. As one of the slower swimmers in the pool, I had to push hard so that I would have a short rest interval before the next rep.

At one stage in the 16x50, I had to switch my mind off the pain & pushed off the wall "mindlessly" when the coach shouted "READY.....GO!!!"
